Mexican catering for Pentonville events
Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Guest numbers
- Travel, parking and access
- Staff for serving and the bar
Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you can choose what you need.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Your menu ideas
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
Mexican catering in Pentonville, served fresh
Food from a truck or trailer feels relaxed. People wander up, order at the hatch and head off with hot food, which suits informal events. For christenings and family parties and wedding breakfasts and evening food, we will put together a menu of loaded nachos, burrito bowls and fresh salsas and guacamole.
In Pentonville, events range from courtyards to hired halls. Tell us how close we can park, and about any height barriers or narrow entrances. Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included, with allergen information for everything we serve.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
For event organisers in Pentonville
Hosting a party at home? Send us a photo of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we’ll let you know if it is a good fit.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
How it works
When service finishes, we pack down and clear our own area. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. In Pentonville, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are normally served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- It begins with the basics: your date, venue, guest numbers and dietary needs.
- We put together a menu around your guests and quote for it.
- Together we confirm where the truck or trailer will park, plus power and water.
- We arrive, set up and cook to order, with salsas and guacamole made fresh.
- Once everyone has eaten, we tidy our serving area and head off.
Before we arrive
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Name one person we can ask on the day

FAQs for Pentonville
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Barnard Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of Saint Peter?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from.
How much is a food truck for an event?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually need. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
Do you serve in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop service from the hatch. Have somewhere covered ready for guests.
Do you do parties at home?
That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
What about power on site?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
How long are you on site?
It depends on your event. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
Planning the serving area
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but there are a few things to check:
- Details of power and water on site, agreed when you book
- Space for guests to queue
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
Pentonville is in London, inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, which covers all of Greater London, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays, off-street space or a parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Tacos
Street tacos are small, quick and full of flavour. They come with fresh salsas and toppings, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Send allergy details to us in writing
- Count children separately
- Ensure the menu has a vegan option
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
For a taco bar, we lay the fillings, salsas and toppings out on a table, and guests help themselves while we keep it topped up.
