About Mexican catering in E13
We slow-cook the fillings ahead and finish them on site, and the salsas and guacamole are freshly made. We warm the tortillas as each order goes out. On the menu are a build-your-own taco bar, fresh salsas and guacamole and burrito bowls, which works well for garden parties and leaving parties.
Here’s how the day generally runs: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you are ready, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time.
- Start by telling us about your event.
- You get a sample menu and a quote.
- We agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- On the day we park up, set up and serve hot food to order.
- Once service ends, we clear away.

Catering events across E13
There are 5 towns and 0 villages and hamlets in E13, so whether your event is in Plaistow, Canning Town and East Ham or a quiet village, the approach is the same: access, level ground and a clear plan.
Plaistow: Nearby historic houses include Queen's House (3.2 miles south) and Eastbury Manor House (3.3 miles east). Venues like these often limit where vehicles can go, so ask about access before you book one. For a christening or wedding at a church such as Memorial Community Church, a food truck at a garden or venue nearby is an easy way to feed everyone. From late May to late September, sunset in Plaistow moves from about 8:50pm to 7:05pm. If your event carries on later, tell us what lighting the venue has.
Comparing your options
Pizza and burger vans are familiar choices. Tacos, burritos and nachos feel a little different, while still being easy food most people enjoy.
Comparing caterers
- Any travel, parking or access charges
- How dietary needs and allergies are handled
- The deadline for final numbers
- Whether VAT is included
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
Working with your venue
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
