Dietary needs and planning tips
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Add a diet question to the invitation
- Plan a covered spot for wet weather
- Put severe allergies to us in writing
- Check the width of your gate or drive
Children love watching their food being made, and quesadillas are a safe bet.
Nachos for sharing while the party gets going.
Mexican party catering in Maida Vale, served fresh
We plan the menu together, perhaps with carnitas, chicken tinga or birria, and vegan options like spiced mushrooms or black beans. On the menu are quesadillas, guacamole and salsas and burritos, and it’s a good fit for family reunions and big birthdays.
Most parties in Maida Vale are in back gardens, which in London are often reached only through the house. We can look at parking on a drive or out front, with permission. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and parking needs planning too. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

Working with your venue
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Throwing a party at home? Send us a photo of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we’ll tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
How it works
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, service opens at the agreed time, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. Sunset in Maida Vale ranges from about 9:20pm at midsummer to about 3:55pm in December, so autumn and winter parties need more thought about lighting.
- You tell us the date, the address, guest numbers and any diets.
- We put a menu together and quote for it.
- Before the day, we check the space, the way in, power and water.
- On the day, we arrive, set up and start serving at the agreed time.
- We pack down after service so the party can carry on.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Give us your final numbers and diets
Ask for a quote
We quote for each event separately, based on what you need. For a quote, send a quick message through our quote form.

Comparing your options
Pizza vans are popular, but most parties have had one. Tacos and nachos feel a little different. 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.

Who books Mexican party catering in Maida Vale?
It’s generous and colourful, ideal when guests want to mingle.
Whatever the occasion, our food truck or trailer can be the centre of it. We are happy to cater:
- Housewarming parties
- Family reunions
- Graduation and exam-results parties
- Naming days and christenings
Around Maida Vale, historic houses include Winfield House (1.1 miles east) and Kensington Palace (1.5 miles south). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on outside caterers and vehicles, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler.
Questions to ask before booking
- Who provides plates and napkins
- How long the service runs
- Payment terms and deposit
- How dietary needs and allergies are handled
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we’ll agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Send a photo of the spot so we can check
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
Maida Vale is in London, inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, which covers all of Greater London, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays, off-street space or a parking suspension.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
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. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
