About Mexican catering in EC1N
Serving from a truck or trailer keeps the mood easy-going. People wander up, order at the hatch and head off with hot food, which suits informal events. Popular choices include a build-your-own taco bar, quesadillas and burritos, which works well for charity and school events and weddings and evening receptions.
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. A photo of the space helps.
- First, send us your date, venue, numbers and any diets we should know about.
- We put together a menu around your guests and quote for it.
- Before the day, we agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- On the day we arrive, set up and serve hot food from our truck or trailer.
- When service ends, we pack down and clear our area.
Cost

Catering events across EC1N
From Blackfriars and Temple Bar to 0 villages and hamlets, events across EC1N range from town-centre venues to gardens and fields, and a truck or trailer suits most settings with access and level ground. Town events mean planning parking; village events mean planning access and ground.
Blackfriars: Before you pencil in Bernie Spain Gardens, find out who manages it: driving a truck onto parkland and selling food there both need their agreement. Guests leaving a church like St Ann Blackfriars after a christening could walk over to a nearby garden where the tacos are ready. Evenings in Blackfriars stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm. Festoon lights or floodlights help once it gets dark.
What’s on the menu
Quesadillas
Quesadillas are simple and comforting, and they go down well with children.
Tacos
Tacos are the classic street food of Mexico. We serve them with salsas and toppings, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests.
Planning for every diet
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
- Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
When service ends, we pack down and clear our area, leaving the space as we found it.
Quesadillas are a good choice for children and cautious eaters, because they’re simple.
Should I do it myself?
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. 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.
Is Mexican catering right for you?
With a barbecue, someone normally ends up stuck at the grill. With us, the cooking happens in our truck or trailer.

Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Guest numbers
- What’s on the menu
- How many staff you need
- Whether you need disposables
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican catering. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.

EC1N questions
How is the food prepared?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect.
Can you come to a private house?
That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a picture and we will talk it through.
Do you take everything away?
We clear our own area when service is finished. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
What can we choose from?
Tacos, build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. See our sample menu.
Do you have gluten-free options?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Can you run a bar?
Yes. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. We will check the licensing for alcohol with you.
