Our Mexican catering in IG5
Mobile Mexican catering means the kitchen comes to you: our food truck or trailer parks at your venue and we serve hot food straight from the hatch. You don’t need a kitchen at the venue. It suits anniversaries and engagements and garden parties, with tacos, loaded nachos and quesadillas.
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, tell us and we’ll adjust the start of service where we can.
- 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.
- After the last serving, we clear our area.

Catering events across IG5
There are 2 towns and 0 villages and hamlets in IG5, so whether your event is in Barkingside and Woodford Bridge or a quiet village, the approach is the same: a level, firm spot, a way in and agreed timings.
Barkingside: Parents planning a fundraiser at a school like Avanti Court Primary School might find a Mexican street-food truck draws families in. A gathering in Fairlop Waters would need the park owner’s say-so for any catering vehicle, and that is worth sorting out early. Around midsummer it stays light in Barkingside until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
The menu, item by item
Burritos and burrito bowls
Rice, beans, a filling and toppings rolled in a large tortilla, or served as a bowl instead.
Quesadillas
A quesadilla is an easy favourite, and they go down well with children.
Planning the serving area
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but a few things matter:
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
- Details of power and water on site, agreed when you book
DIY taco night versus a caterer
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
