Can I do a taco night myself?
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.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.

New Cross questions
Is it possible to have you in Fordham Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
Which station should guests use for New Cross?
Guests can use New Cross station, which is right in New Cross.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Do you have a licence to sell alcohol?
It depends on the venue. If the venue has no licence, a Temporary Event Notice may be needed. We will check the licensing with you.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
Do you do a taco bar?

Step by step
We arrive in good time before service, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. In December, the light goes in New Cross at about 3:55pm, so plan where guests will gather, and how it will be lit. At midsummer, by contrast, sunset is around 9:20pm.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and what you’d like to serve.
- Together we check how alcohol will be licensed at your event.
- We put together a drinks menu, with alcohol-free choices, and quote for it.
- On the day, our bar staff serve drinks responsibly at the agreed times.
- We pack away when the bar shuts and leave the area tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
