Mexican party catering for Islington events
Mexican party catering for your party in Islington
Taco bars are made for parties: guests fill their own tortillas from fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings, so fussy eaters and adventurous ones are both happy. It works well for baby celebrations and big family gatherings, with tacos, quesadillas and guacamole and salsas.
Planning a London party in Islington? Street food from a truck or trailer keeps you out of the kitchen, and can work at a hired venue, a courtyard or a home with a drive. Mention parking bays and permits. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.

Can I do a taco night myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.

How it works
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, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. In Islington, it’s light until about 9:20pm in June but dark by about 3:55pm in December, so autumn and winter parties need more thought about lighting.
- Tell us when and where, and how many.
- We suggest a menu and send a quote.
- We check access and arrive before your guests.
- Food is served from the hatch or the taco bar.
- We clear our area when service ends.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
How to get a price
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. When you are ready, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
