Working with your venue
Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
What happens on the day
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. Send us a picture of the space if you’re unsure. Around midsummer it stays light in Thames View Estate until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are typically served in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:50pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- Share the date, the venue and how many are coming.
- Together we plan a menu around your guests’ diets.
- We confirm the way in and where we will park.
- Guests order at the hatch or build their own at the taco bar.
- We clear our serving area when everyone is fed.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Share the running order, including any speeches

Thames View Estate questions
What’s the nearest station to Thames View Estate for guests?
Guests can use Barking Riverside station, about 0.7 miles south-east of Thames View Estate.
Where would you park in Thames View Estate?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. A parking suspension may be needed, and the whole of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Can you cater for special diets?
We can. We plan vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.
How long are you on site?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
How does your Mexican catering work?
We arrive with our own mobile kitchen. We set up at your venue, serve hot food to order and pack down afterwards.
What do you need at the venue?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Can you plan for allergies?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with 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 soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Is Mexican catering right for your event?
Platters dropped off in the morning are easy but forgettable. Live service from a truck or trailer gives guests hot food and something to talk about. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.
Why book with us
- Quoted for your event
- Served fresh from our truck or trailer
- Menus chosen with you
