DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
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 enjoy the party, let us serve.
About our Mexican catering in Waltham Forest
Few things get guests chatting like a build-your-own taco bar. Everyone builds their own tacos from what’s laid out, so nobody ends up with something they do not want. For engagement and anniversary parties and birthday parties, we can serve burrito bowls, tacos and quesadillas and more.
From a hired hall to a shared courtyard, events in Waltham Forest come in all shapes. Let us know where the truck or trailer can stop and about any narrow entrances. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

What else we do in Waltham Forest
Space, access and the venue
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
- Room for a serving table for the taco bar
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
London streets around Waltham Forest 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.

The process
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you are ready, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. Winter evenings in Waltham Forest close in by about 3:50pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.
- 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’ll park.
- Food is served from the hatch or a taco-bar table.
- We clear our serving area when everyone is fed.
How to prepare
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Find out what power and water are available
- Let us know the timings for the day

Waltham Forest: your questions answered
Is it possible to have you in Linder's Field?
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 will send what they need from us.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St John the Baptist Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes. Dairy-free options are part of our menus.
How does your Mexican catering work?
Our truck or trailer is a mobile kitchen. We set up at your venue, serve hot food to order and pack down afterwards.
How much will it cost?
There’s no fixed price list, as each event is different. Tell us your numbers and plans and we will send a quote for your event.
Do you have gluten-free options?
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.
Do you cater for vegetarians, vegans and gluten-free guests?
We can. There are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. We give allergen information for every dish.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we will talk it through.

Why choose Mexican catering in Waltham Forest?
A barbecue often means a host tied to the grill. With us, the cooking happens in our truck or trailer, so you can enjoy your event. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.
