How Mexican catering works in EN5
The menu starts with tacos: warm tortillas with your choice of fillings, plus fresh salsas, guacamole and toppings. We can add burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas. It suits big birthday celebrations and summer garden parties, serving fresh salsas and guacamole, quesadillas and a build-your-own taco bar.
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table.
- Share the date, the venue and how many are coming.
- We plan a menu that covers every diet.
- We check the route in and where the truck or trailer will stand.
- Food is served from the hatch or a taco-bar table.
- We clear our serving area when everyone is fed.

Planning a food truck in EN5
EN5 covers everything from Barnet, New Barnet and High Barnet to 6 small villages and hamlets, and a food truck or trailer can work in all of them, given access. In towns, plan parking and loading; in villages, tell us about lanes, gates and ground.
Barnet: A school such as Grasvenor Avenue Infant School running a summer fair or fundraiser could book a taco truck. Parks such as Highlands Gardens usually need the owner’s permission for vehicles and catering, so ask before you plan an event there. Winter evenings in Barnet close in by about 3:55pm, so choose a spot where guests can see what they’re ordering. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.
Should I do it myself?
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.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
- Tell us what other food is being served
- Send allergy details to us in writing
- Plan a vegan filling as well as a vegetarian one
Rain does not stop us serving from the truck or trailer, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
Quesadillas are a good choice for children and cautious eaters, because they’re simple.
Mexican catering or something else?
Pizza and burger vans are familiar choices. Mexican street food stands out, yet it’s still food most guests know and like.
