How our Mexican catering works in Paynes Green
The menu starts with tacos: warm tortillas with your choice of fillings, plus fresh salsas, guacamole and toppings. Burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos and quesadillas can sit alongside them. It works well for family celebrations and anniversaries and engagements, serving burrito bowls, tacos and a build-your-own taco bar.
Somewhere like Paynes Green, a field or garden is often the setting. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.

Questions from Paynes Green
Is it possible to have you in Wallis Wood?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
Do you cater in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
What areas do you cover?
We cater across London and the South East, including Surrey. See all areas.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will suggest mild options.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t generally stop service from the truck or trailer. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Can you serve drinks as well?
Yes. The drinks bar offers margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free drinks. We’ll check the licensing with you.
