Mexican catering in Surrey Quays
Mexican catering in Surrey Quays, from our truck or trailer
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance and kept hot on site, while the salsas and guacamole are made fresh. We warm the tortillas as each order goes out. It works well for engagement and anniversary parties and family celebrations, serving quesadillas, loaded nachos and burrito bowls.
Events in Surrey Quays 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. Tell us about the route in. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.

Your questions about Mexican catering in Surrey Quays
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Deptford 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.
We’re having a ceremony at St Katharine with St Bartholomew: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
How much space do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
Can you serve drinks as well?
We can. Our Mexican drinks bar serves margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Licensing is checked with you first.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies.
What can we choose from?
Every menu is agreed with you, with fillings such as chicken tinga, carnitas or black beans. The sample menu shows the options.
Can you serve in the rain?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Can guests build their own tacos?
We can. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.

Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
