Mexican catering in Nunhead, from our food truck or trailer
A build-your-own taco bar is one of the most sociable ways to feed a crowd. Guests fill their own tortillas from the fillings, salsas and toppings, so nobody ends up with something they don’t want. We serve tacos, quesadillas and burritos, which works well for markets and community events and family celebrations.
Events in Nunhead are often in courtyards, office forecourts, hired venues and gardens with side access. London gardens are often reached only through the house, so the truck or trailer may need to stay on a drive or the street, with permission. Send us a photo of the access. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

Before you choose a spot
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but there are a few things to check:
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
- A route in that’s wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
In Nunhead, as everywhere in Greater London, the ULEZ applies and kerb space is limited. Where will the truck or trailer stop? A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Is Mexican catering right for your event?
Next to a hog roast or a barbecue, tacos make vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to cater for, because fillings and toppings are kept separate. Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so share your ideas with us. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
Hosting a party at home? Send us a picture of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we’ll tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
