Mexican party catering for your party in Poplar
Tacos are relaxed party food: easy to eat with one hand, so guests can keep chatting and there’s no need for a seating plan. We serve guacamole and salsas, burritos and tacos, and it’s a good fit for garden parties and neighbourhood celebrations.
Planning a London party in Poplar? 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. Tell us about parking bays, permits and any parking suspension. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Should I do it myself?
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.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
What Mexican party catering costs
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- How many staff you need
- Parking and the route in
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Food, drinks or both
There is no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican party catering. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.
Details that help
The more we know about your party, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- How we drive in and where we can park
- The address or venue name
- The date and rough timings
- A picture of the space, if it is a garden or field
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will send you a clear quote.
Where the truck can go in Poplar
If a space is not suitable, we will tell you. What matters most:
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
- Space for guests to queue
In Poplar, 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.

The process
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and we serve your guests fresh for the agreed time. At midsummer, it’s light in Poplar until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- It starts with your date, the address, numbers and diets.
- We put a menu together and quote for it.
- We confirm access, parking, power and water.
- On the day, we arrive, set up and start serving at the agreed time.
- After serving, we tidy up and leave you to celebrate.
How to prepare
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Tell us what power and water the site has

Canary Wharf station, in Poplar itself.

Mexican street food and drinks: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will suggest mild options.

Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Tell us about your space and numbers and we will recommend how to serve.

Yes, we can. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Catering for every guest
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:

For event organisers in Poplar
Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
How it compares
A home-made buffet takes hours to prepare and leaves food sitting out. Tacos and burritos are served hot, order by order. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.
