Mexican party catering in Kensington, served fresh
A build-your-own taco bar is ideal for a party: guests fill their own tortillas from fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings, so fussy eaters and adventurous ones are both happy. On the menu are burritos, tacos and quesadillas, and it suits naming days and christenings and garden parties.
In Kensington, a back-garden party is the usual choice, but access can be tight. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot out front may work, with permission. Parking needs planning, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

Kensington questions
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Holland 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.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Barnabas?
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. Send us the reception address.
How much does Mexican party catering cost in Kensington?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Contact us for a quote.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t normally stop service from the truck or trailer. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Are plates and napkins included?
We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we’ll talk it through.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
Can you park at my house?
Often, yes, if there’s level, firm ground and access wide and high enough for the truck or trailer. Send us a picture of the space.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, especially for summer weekends. Check your date with us.
Why choose Mexican party catering in Kensington?
It feeds a crowd without anyone stuck in the kitchen, and the truck or trailer is a talking point.
We can help if you are planning any of the following:
- Naming days and christenings
- Housewarmings
- Anniversary celebrations
- Street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers
A birthday picnic in Holland Park sounds fun, but bringing in a catering vehicle needs the owner’s agreement.
What your quote should include
- Plates and napkins, or nothing at all
- What the price includes, item by item
- Whether travel is included
- Where to see their hygiene rating

About the menu
Build-your-own taco bar
A taco bar keeps a party sociable.
Salsas and guacamole
Salsas go on the side, so guests choose the heat.
The process
Serving is quick: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. When service ends, we pack down. In Kensington, it is 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.
- Send us your date, where the party is, numbers and dietary needs.
- You get a sample menu and a quote for your party.
- Before the day, we check the space, the way in, power and water.
- On the day we set up and serve hot food at the time you choose.
- After serving, we tidy up and leave you to celebrate.
How to prepare
- Find out what power and water are available
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Name one person we can ask on the day
Ask for a quote
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.

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 dishes for guests with allergies.
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.
Catering for every guest
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Have cover ready for a shower
- Check the width of your gate or drive
- Ask guests with serious allergies to talk to us first
- Ask guests about diets when you invite them
Children love watching their food being made, and quesadillas are a safe bet.
Bowls as an alternative to tacos.
How we price Mexican party catering
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- The menu you choose
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Parking and the route in
- The number of people
Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- The date and rough timings
- Expected numbers
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: venue, timings, menu ideas and access. To send your details, send a quick message through our quote form.
