How our Mexican catering works in Plaistow
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. At anniversaries and engagements and garden get-togethers, we will put together a menu of burrito bowls, tacos and fresh salsas and guacamole.
Somewhere like Plaistow, a field or garden is often the setting. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.

About the menu
Quesadillas
Tortillas filled with melted cheese and a filling, toasted until crisp, cut into wedges.
Tacos
Warm tortillas with a choice of fillings, finished with salsas and toppings. Fillings are agreed with you, such as carnitas, chicken tinga or spiced mushrooms.
Working with your venue
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.

What happens on the day
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can spend time with your guests.

- We plan a menu that covers every diet.
- We check the route in and where the truck or trailer will stand.
- Food is served from the hatch or a taco-bar table.
- After the last serving, we clear our area.

Should I do it myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Who books Mexican catering in Plaistow?
Tacos and burritos go down well with most crowds: familiar, filling and easy to eat wherever guests are.
If you’re planning any of these, we can help:
- Weddings, day or evening
- Summer garden parties
- Markets and community events

If you are celebrating after a service at a church like Holy Trinity Church, a truck or trailer parked at a hall or garden close by can serve the meal.

Plaistow: your questions answered
Do you come to events 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.
Is Plaistow close to London?
It’s about 36 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can you plan for allergies?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
How is the food prepared?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared.
What do you need at the venue?
Tell us about the venue and the way in, and we will check it works. Space for a queue and, if you choose one, a taco-bar table helps too.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we will plan the menu around them.
How long are you on site?
It depends on your event. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.
