Mexican catering in N8: what to expect

Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case, so tell us your numbers. We serve fresh salsas and guacamole, a build-your-own taco bar and quesadillas, which works well for milestone birthdays and garden parties.

When service finishes, we pack down and clear our own area. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue.

  1. It begins with the basics: your date, venue, guest numbers and dietary needs.
  2. We put together a menu around your guests and quote for it.
  3. Together we confirm where the truck or trailer will park, plus power and water.
  4. On the day, we set up and serve from the truck or trailer, or from a taco-bar station.
  5. When service ends, we pack down and clear our area.

What you will pay

The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Taco catering in N8: local guide

N8 covers everything from Noel Park, Wood Green and Crouch End to 0 small villages and hamlets, 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.

Crouch End: For a fête or sports day at a school such as Rokesly Infant & Nursery School, hot food from a truck or trailer saves the volunteers from cooking. Guests arriving by train will find that the nearest station is Crouch Hill station, about 0.7 miles south-east. From late May to late September, sunset in Crouch End moves from about 8:55pm to 7:05pm. If your event carries on later, tell us what lighting the venue has.

How we price Mexican catering

Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:

  • What’s on the menu
  • Parking and the route in
  • The length of service
  • What the venue already provides

Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you can choose what you need.

What we need to know

You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:

  • The address or venue name
  • A picture of where we’d park
  • Your date and when you want service to start
  • Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground

Every event is quoted individually, based on what you need. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.

Planning the serving area

We will be honest if a space will not work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:

  • A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
  • Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
  • The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle

Is Mexican catering right for you?

Sit-down meals need a kitchen, tables and more staff. A food truck or trailer is its own kitchen, and needs a suitable spot, safe access and the venue’s agreement.

Questions to ask before booking

  • How bad weather is handled
  • VAT, if it applies
  • A clear list of what’s included
  • How late numbers can change

DIY taco night versus a caterer

Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.

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.

What’s on the menu

Quesadillas

A quesadilla is an easy favourite, and they go down well with children.

Build-your-own taco bar

The taco bar keeps things sociable, and guests with different diets can choose what suits them, with every dish labelled.

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.
