Mexican catering for your event in Riddlesdown
Our truck and trailer service tends to suit around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case, so tell us your numbers.

In a London neighbourhood like Riddlesdown, the first thing to plan for a food truck is parking and loading. Narrow streets and permit bays decide where we can stop, so let us know about off-street space, or whether the council will need to suspend a parking bay. Like all of Greater London, Riddlesdown is inside the ULEZ. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

Questions from Riddlesdown
Is it possible to have you in Dollypers Hill?
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 will send what they need from us.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Edmund's Church?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
How many guests can you cater for?
Our service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case.
What does Mexican catering cost?
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
How does mobile Mexican catering work?
We bring our truck or trailer to your venue, cook to order and serve tacos, burritos and more from the hatch. You can also have a build-your-own taco bar.
Are plates and napkins included?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we will confirm what’s included with your quote.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect.
Can you cater in a back garden?
It 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’ll advise.
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.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
What’s on the menu
Quesadillas
A quesadilla is an easy favourite.
Burritos and burrito bowls
Rice, beans, a filling and toppings rolled in a large tortilla, or served as a bowl instead.
How it compares
If you want food that feels relaxed without being basic, tacos, burritos and nachos make a strong choice. Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Where the truck can go in Riddlesdown
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours when you contact us. In general, we need:
- Room for a serving table for the taco bar
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
As a London location, Riddlesdown is inside the ULEZ, and parking and loading take planning: let us know about permits, bays, off-street space or a parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.

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.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
