About our Mexican party catering in Ilford
A Mexican party takes the food off your hands without turning the day into a formal dinner. Our food truck or trailer parks up and we serve hot food as the party goes on. It works well for new-home celebrations and milestone birthdays, with loaded nachos, a build-your-own taco bar and quesadillas.
Planning a London party in Ilford? Street food from a truck or trailer keeps you out of the kitchen, at a venue, a courtyard or a house with off-street parking. Tell us about parking bays, permits and any parking suspension. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Questions from Ilford
Is it possible to have you in South Park?
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.
We are having a ceremony at St Alban's Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
What do you serve?
Mexican street food: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
What do you need at the venue?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we will check the licensing with you and your venue.
Can you come to a private house?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
How is the food prepared?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Can you serve from my drive or garden?
That depends on the way in and the ground. Tell us about gates, slopes and soft lawns, and we’ll confirm.
Before you choose a spot
We will agree the spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
In Ilford, 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
How we price Mexican party catering
Contact us for a quote, and the price is based on:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- The menu you choose
- Serving staff
Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Your quote confirms the full price.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- What power and water the site has
- The venue or postcode
- What you’d like on the menu
- Expected numbers
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: venue, timings, menu ideas and access. When you are ready, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
How it works
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can spend time with your guests. A summer party in Ilford stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- You tell us the date, the address, guest numbers and any diets.
- We put a menu together and quote for it.
- We confirm access, parking, power and water.
- We set up and serve tacos and more while your guests enjoy the party.
- We pack down after service so the party can carry on.
Before we arrive
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day

Hosting a taco party in Ilford
Ilford is about 4 miles east of Leyton, in Greater London.

Ilford is one of 764 places in Greater London where we can bring Mexican party catering. We cater right across the region, from Ilford to London (8 miles away).
Families celebrating a christening at a church such as St Alban's Church might carry on at a garden or hall where we can park up. Thinking of a party in South Park? A food truck in a public park usually needs permission from the landowner, so check first.

Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
