Mexican catering in Upton, from our truck or trailer
We slow-cook the fillings ahead and finish them on site, and the salsas and guacamole are freshly made. We warm the tortillas as each order goes out. It works well for family gatherings and christenings and milestone birthdays, serving burritos, quesadillas and loaded nachos.
In a London neighbourhood like Upton, 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. All of Greater London, Upton included, is inside the ULEZ. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included, with allergen information for everything we serve.

Planning a food truck in Upton
Upton is about 1 mile north of Plaistow, in Greater London. For an event in Upton, we can serve in gardens, fields, venues, car parks and courtyards with access. Upton is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London where we can bring Mexican catering. You can also see our page for London, about 6 miles away.
Around Upton, historic houses include Valentines Mansion (2.8 miles north-east) and Eastbury Manor House (3.1 miles east). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and vehicles early. A gathering in West Ham Park would need the park owner’s say-so for any catering vehicle, and that is worth sorting out early.
Wherever your event is in E7, E13 and E15, we can bring Mexican catering to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Streets in the area include May Road, West Road and Park Road, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Upton Park (1 mile south-east), Greengate (1 mile south), West Ham (1 mile south-west), Forest Gate (1 mile north) and Plashet (1 mile east). Within a short drive, we also cover London (6 miles south-west), City of Westminster (8 miles west), Marylebone (8 miles west), Kensington (10 miles west), St Pancras (6 miles west) and Shoreditch (5 miles west).
Other landmarks nearby include Stratford Centre (1.2 miles west) and West Ham United Football Club Museum (0.7 miles south-east). Open spaces near Upton include Hollow Pond and Tower Hill.
- Local schools include St Bonaventure's RC School (less than half a mile west) and St Bonaventure's RC School (within half a mile west)
- Nearby, you will find Spotted Dog pub (within half a mile north-west)

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
The menu, item by item
Build-your-own taco bar
The taco bar keeps things sociable, and it makes mixed diets easy, with every dish labelled.
Tacos
Tacos are the classic street food of Mexico. We serve them with salsas and toppings.
What affects the price in Upton
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Distance and access to the venue
- Food, drinks or both
- What the venue already provides
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Any dietary needs and allergies
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. To send your details, use our quote form.

Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
- A spot for a taco-bar serving table
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
London streets around Upton can be narrow and busy, and all of Greater London sits inside the ULEZ. Tell us about loading, permits and any parking suspension when you enquire.

What happens on the day
When service finishes, we pack down and clear our own area. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. In Upton, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are usually served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- Send us your date, numbers and venue.
- Together we plan a menu around your guests’ diets.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time

Planning help
For planners, venues and organisers
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can check the date.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Upton: your questions answered
Is it possible to have you in West Ham Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
Which station is closest to Upton?
Guests can use Forest Gate station, about 0.8 miles north of Upton.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms, served alongside the meat options.
What do you need at the venue?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
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. Send us a picture and we will talk it through.
What food do you serve?
Tacos, build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. Our sample menu has more detail.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
What is mobile Mexican catering?
We park our truck or trailer at your venue and serve hot Mexican street food from it. A build-your-own taco bar is another option.
