Mexican catering for Upper Holloway events
Is Mexican catering right for your event?
Compared with a hog roast or barbecue, tacos make vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to cater for, thanks to separate fillings and toppings. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Why us?
- A clear quote
- Allergen information for every dish
- A menu built around your guests
- Menus for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests

About our Mexican catering in Upper Holloway
The menu starts with tacos: warmed tortillas, a choice of fillings, and salsas, guacamole and toppings to finish. We can add burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas. For garden get-togethers and markets and community events, we will put together a menu of burritos, quesadillas and tacos for your guests.
In Upper Holloway, a courtyard, a venue forecourt or a garden with drive access can work well. If the garden is only reached through the house, a spot on the drive or the street may work, with permission. Tell us about the route in. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.

What else we do in Upper Holloway
DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
