How Mexican catering works in IG1
We plan each menu with the client, so fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, and vegan options like spiced mushrooms or black beans. On the menu are loaded nachos, burrito bowls and tacos, which works well for charity and school events and fairs and festivals.
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your event.
- Start by telling us about your event.
- We suggest fillings and extras and send 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.
What it costs in IG1

Local landmarks in Ilford
Local spots for an event include homes and venues near Great Spoon of Ilford pub, The Ursuline Academy Ilford and South Park and the streets around them. You’ll also find Winston Way Academy (under half a mile east) and St Alban's Church (within half a mile south). There is a railway station in Ilford itself: Ilford station, handy for guests travelling by train. A little further out are East Ham (2.1 miles south-west) and Barking Community Hospital (1.8 miles south-east). For a walk before or after the party, there’s Hollow Pond and Ripple Nature Reserve.
Mexican catering across IG1: what to know
There are 3 towns and 0 villages and hamlets in IG1, so whether your event is in Ilford, Loxford and Manor Park or a quiet village, the approach is the same: access, level ground and a clear plan.
Ilford: For guests coming by train, Ilford has its own station, Ilford station. Thinking of an event in South Park? Public parks typically need the landowner’s permission for a food truck, so check first. Evenings in Ilford 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.
Planning the serving area
Every venue is different, so we will ask about yours when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Room for a serving table for the taco bar
- Space for guests to queue
DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Mexican catering or something else?
Burgers and pizza are what guests often expect. Mexican street food stands out.
Questions to ask before you book
- How late numbers can change
- How bad weather is handled
- The caterer’s food hygiene rating
- How long the service runs
Planners, venues and businesses
Throwing a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about access, and we’ll let you know if it is a good fit.
Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Dietary needs and planning tips
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests. To make it work smoothly:
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
- Mention any other caterers or courses
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
We work around your timings, and adapt if they move.
Extra salsas and toppings can widen the choice.
Common questions in IG1
What can we choose from?
We agree the menu with each client, with fillings such as chicken tinga, carnitas or black beans. The sample menu shows the options.
Can you cater in a back garden?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
Do you cater for vegetarians, vegans and gluten-free guests?
Yes. There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. We give allergen information for every dish.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
How many guests can you serve?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.
How much is a food truck for an event?
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
Can you serve in the rain?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
