DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Mexican catering in Picketts Lock, from our truck or trailer
Tacos are the heart of the menu: warmed tortillas, a choice of fillings, and salsas, guacamole and toppings to finish. Burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos and quesadillas can sit alongside them. For garden parties and anniversaries and engagements, we can serve burrito bowls, quesadillas and loaded nachos for your guests.
Events in Picketts Lock 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 picture of the access. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.

Common questions in Picketts Lock
Could you serve in Pymmes Park?
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.
Which station is closest to Picketts Lock?
Guests can use Ponders End station, about 1.2 miles north of Picketts Lock.
How long do you serve for?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you so everything fits your schedule.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar.
How much is a food truck for an event?
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you want. Tell us your date and numbers and we will reply with a quote.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes. We offer dairy-free options.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food.

Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Comparing your options

Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Your quote confirms the full price.

Before you choose a spot
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
In Picketts Lock, 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.
