How it works
Once service is over, we pack up and leave our area tidy. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. In South Norwood, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- Share the date, the venue and how many are coming.
- 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.
- We clear our serving area when everyone is fed.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely

Salsas and guacamole
Guacamole and salsas, freshly made, with lime and fresh toppings.
Burritos and burrito bowls
A burrito is a meal in one. The bowl version suits anyone avoiding tortillas.
Where the truck can go in South Norwood
We will agree the spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A spot for a taco-bar serving table
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
- Permission from the venue or landowner
In South Norwood, 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.

Mexican catering around South Norwood
South Norwood is about 5 miles south-east of Stockwell, in Greater London. From the centre of South Norwood to the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh service from our truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. We serve in 764 places in Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in.
By road, South Norwood is on or near the A213, which makes it easy for us to reach with the truck or trailer. For a fête or sports day at a school such as St Mark's Church of England Primary Academy, hot food from a truck or trailer saves the volunteers from cooking.
Wherever your event is in SE25, SE20 and CR0, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Local streets include Park Road, Court Road and Dixon Road; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park. Being close to the A213, South Norwood is easy for us to reach for your event. If your venue is just outside South Norwood, we also cover Selhurst (1 mile north), Woodside (1 mile south), Ashburton (1 mile south), Elmers End (1 mile east) and Addiscombe (1 mile south). Within a short drive, we also cover London (7 miles north), City of Westminster (9 miles north-west), Marylebone (9 miles north), Kensington (9 miles north-west), St Pancras (9 miles north) and Shoreditch (9 miles north).

For event organisers in South Norwood
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Planning for every diet
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Include at least one vegan filling
- Check that your venue allows outside caterers and vehicles
- Tell us what other food is being served
- Send allergy details to us in writing
We have allergen information for every dish at the hatch, so guests can check before they order.
Ask about extra salsas and toppings for a bigger spread.
South Norwood questions
Is it possible to have you in South Norwood Recreation Ground?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Mark: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself isn’t 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 will check the access.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Tell us about your space and numbers and we’ll recommend how to serve.
What happens if it rains?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll plan the menu around them.
Do you do a drinks bar?
Our drinks bar can be added to any booking, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol needs the right licence, so we will check that with you.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Do you need electricity?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we’ll confirm what we need with your quote.
- Served from our truck or trailer at your venue, garden or event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information
- Tacos and taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas
