What Mexican party catering costs
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- The number of people
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- How long we are needed on site
- Parking and the route in
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Your quote confirms the full price.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- A picture of where we’d park
- Diets and allergies you know about
- The date and time of the event
It is easy to get a price: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We’ll send you a clear quote and a suggested menu.
Planning for every diet
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Ask guests about diets when you invite them
- Plan where rubbish goes
- Make sure most people can sit to eat
- Give the neighbours a heads-up
We arrive before your guests to set up.
A wider choice of salsas and toppings.
Planning the serving area
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- A quick photo of the access helps us plan
- Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
London streets around Sydenham can be narrow and busy, and all of Greater London sits inside the ULEZ. Tell us about loading, permits and any parking suspension when you enquire.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.
How it works
We arrive in good time before service, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. In Sydenham, it is light until about 9:20pm in June but dark by about 3:55pm in December, so the time of year shapes an evening party.
- Send us your date, address and numbers.
- You get a menu and a quote.
- We confirm access, then arrive early on the day.
- Guests order at the hatch or build their own tacos.
- We clear our area when service ends.
Before we arrive
- Find out what power and water are available
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Give us your final numbers and diets

What else we do in Sydenham
DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
FAQs for Sydenham
Is parking a problem for events in Sydenham?
It can be tricky, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. Some streets may need a parking suspension from the council, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Bartholomew?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes. We plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms.
Do you cook on site?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
How long are you on site?
It depends on your event. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll go through the licensing with you.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.

Everyone builds their own plate, so there is less waste.
