About our Mexican party catering in Selsdon
Mexican street food suits birthdays, garden parties and all kinds of celebrations. Guests gather round the truck or trailer, and the food comes out hot. For anniversary celebrations and garden get-togethers, we will put together a menu of tacos, quesadillas and loaded nachos and more.
For a party in Selsdon, your garden is often the best venue. Tell us about the drive, gates and parking, and we will plan the rest. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.

How we price Mexican party catering
We quote for your event, which reflects:
- The number of people
- Whether you need disposables
- Food, drinks or both
- How many staff you need
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.
What to tell us
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- The venue or postcode
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Roughly how many adults and children
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. When you’re ready, use our quote form.
Selsdon questions
How far is Selsdon from central London?
It is about 11 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Francis?
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 about power on site?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Where do you cater?
We cater across London and the South East, Surrey included. Find your area.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies.
Is the food made fresh?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Do you cater in Selsdon?
We do. We serve at events in Selsdon and across Surrey. Send us your date to check availability.

The process
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, get the serving area ready, and get on with serving. A summer party in Selsdon stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Send us your date, where the party is, numbers and dietary needs.
- We suggest a menu and send a quote.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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.
