DIY taco night or a caterer?
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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.
Mexican party catering in Clapton, served fresh
We plan the menu together, perhaps with carnitas, chicken tinga or birria, plus vegan options such as black beans or spiced mushrooms. It works well for summer garden parties and family reunions, serving loaded nachos, burritos and tacos.
Most parties in Clapton are in back gardens, which in London are often reached only through the house. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot out front may work, with permission. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and parking needs planning too. Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included, with allergen information for everything we serve.

Who books Mexican party catering in Clapton?
It works for all ages and diets, from children to grandparents.
If you are planning any of these, we can help:
- Family reunions
- Housewarmings
- Garden get-togethers
- Baby celebrations
Once the service at a church like Church of St James the Great is over, the party can move somewhere with space for the truck and a queue.
Before booking anyone
- How dietary needs and allergies are handled
- If the price includes VAT
- A clear list of what’s included
- Plates and napkins, or nothing at all
Space, access and the venue
We serve from a truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
- Details of power and water on site, agreed when you book
In Clapton, as everywhere in Greater London, the ULEZ applies and kerb space is limited. Where will the truck or trailer stop? A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
How we price Mexican party catering
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- How many guests we are serving
- Travel, parking and access
- Serving staff
- The length of service
Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- What power and water the site has
- The date and rough timings
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Roughly how many adults and children
We quote for each event separately, based on what you need. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
How it compares
A home-made buffet takes hours to prepare and leaves food sitting out. Our food is cooked to order and served hot. 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.

Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, most diets are easy. Our advice:
- Ask guests with serious allergies to talk to us first
- Give the neighbours a heads-up
- Collect dietary needs with your invites
- Count adults and children separately
Kids enjoy queuing at the hatch, and quesadillas are a safe bet.
Burrito bowls for guests who skip tortillas.
What happens on the day
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain doesn’t typically stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. December parties in Clapton are dark from about 3:55pm, so plan lighting where guests queue and eat. In late June, it stays light until about 9:20pm.
