Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Count children separately
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
- Put any allergies in writing for us
- Check that your venue allows outside caterers and vehicles
We have allergen information for every dish at the hatch, and guests are welcome to ask before ordering.
Tell us if you need plates, cutlery or serving staff and we’ll confirm what’s possible with your quote.
Is Mexican catering right for your event?
A drop-off platter is easy, but nobody remembers it. Hot food served from a truck feels like part of the event. Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so share your ideas with us. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
Why book with us
- A clear quote
- Set-up planned with you and your venue
- A menu agreed with you
- Allergen-aware menus

Organising for someone else?
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can check the date.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.

Common questions in Ratcliff
What’s the nearest station to Ratcliff for guests?
Limehouse station, in Ratcliff itself.
Is it possible to have you in Stepney Green Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
What is mobile Mexican catering?
Our truck or trailer is a mobile kitchen. We set up at your venue, serve hot food to order and pack down afterwards.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
Do you cater for vegetarians, vegans and gluten-free guests?
Yes. We plan vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.
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.
When do you arrive?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
Where the truck can go in Ratcliff
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- Room for a serving table for the taco bar
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
- Permission from the venue or landowner
In Ratcliff, 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.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
