Mexican catering in Old Coulsdon, served fresh
Tacos are the heart of the menu: warm tortillas with your choice of fillings, plus fresh salsas, guacamole and toppings. We can add burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas. We serve a build-your-own taco bar, burrito bowls and quesadillas, and it is a good fit for festivals, fairs and markets and weddings, day or evening.
In a London neighbourhood like Old Coulsdon, the first thing to plan for a food truck is parking and loading. Narrow streets, permit bays and yellow lines all affect where we can stop, so tell us about a driveway, a courtyard or whether a parking suspension is needed when you ask for a quote. Like all of Greater London, Old Coulsdon is inside the ULEZ. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
Planning the serving area
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch
- Space for a taco-bar table if you’ve chosen one
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
In Old Coulsdon, 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.

Dietary needs and planning tips
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
- Tell us what other food is being served
- Include at least one vegan filling
For a taco bar, we lay the fillings, salsas and toppings out on a table, and guests build their own.
Burrito bowls are a good choice for anyone avoiding tortillas, and they’re easy to adapt for different diets.
Popular choices
Salsas and guacamole
Salsas and guacamole, made fresh for your event, with lime and fresh toppings.
Quesadillas
A quesadilla is an easy favourite.
Mexican catering or something else?
Compared with a hog roast or barbecue, tacos make vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to cater for, thanks to separate fillings and toppings. Comparing caterers?

Questions from Old Coulsdon
What’s the nearest station to Old Coulsdon for guests?
Coulsdon South station, about 1.4 miles north-west of the centre.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St John the Evangelist: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you cover Old Coulsdon?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Old Coulsdon. To check your date, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will talk it through.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
How much space do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. Send us a photo and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
