Mexican catering in NW5: what to expect

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. We serve burrito bowls, quesadillas and burritos, which works well for engagement celebrations and garden parties.

From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can enjoy your event.

  1. First, send us your date, venue, numbers and any diets we should know about.
  2. We put together a menu around your guests and quote for it.
  3. Before the day, we agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
  4. We arrive, set up and cook to order, with salsas and guacamole made fresh.
  5. Once everyone has eaten, we tidy our serving area and head off.

What you will pay

Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.

Around Kentish Town

Events here might be close to Vaughan Williams Memorial Library, Church of the Holy Trinity with St Barnabas and Holy Trinity and Saint Silas CofE Primary School. Also close by are Haverstock School (within half a mile west), The Hawley Arms (under half a mile south), North Bridge House School (0.6 miles south) and Primrose Hill (0.7 miles south-west). Kentish Town has its own railway station: Kentish Town West station. Nearby you will also find Metropolitan Borough of Hampstead (1 mile north-west) and Isokon Gallery (0.9 miles north-west). Green spaces nearby include The Long Water and Primrose Hill.

Planning a food truck in NW5

NW5 covers everything from Kentish Town, Chalk Farm and Tufnell Park 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.

Kentish Town: Thinking of an event in Primrose Hill? Public parks usually need the landowner’s permission for a food truck, so check first. For guests coming by train, Kentish Town has its own station, Kentish Town West station. Around midsummer it stays light in Kentish Town until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are normally served in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.

What affects the price in NW5

We quote for your event, which reflects:

  • The length of service

Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you can choose what you need.

Details that help

Mexican catering or something else?

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.

What your quote should include

  • How many staff are serving, and for how long
  • Whether plates, napkins and cutlery are included
  • Allergen information for each dish
  • What happens if it rains

Working with your venue

Organising a club, school or community event in NW5? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Give us the details and we will suggest a plan.

If you are booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.

DIY taco night or a caterer?

You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.

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.

Popular choices

Tacos

Warm tortillas with a choice of fillings, topped with salsa and fresh toppings. Fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga or spiced mushrooms are agreed with you.

Burritos and burrito bowls

Burritos are filling and easy to eat on the move. Bowls suit guests who want to skip the tortilla.

NW5: your questions answered

Is the food made fresh?

Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.

Do you do parties at home?

That depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we will advise.

Do you do margaritas?

Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. We will check the licensing for alcohol with you.

Do you cater for vegetarians, vegans and gluten-free guests?

We can. We plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.

Do you cater for big events?

It depends on the event. As a guide, it is around 50 to 400 guests; tell us your numbers and we will plan around them.

Are plates and napkins included?

We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies.

Do you serve in the rain?

We serve from the truck or trailer whatever the weather, though guests need a covered place to eat.

  • Served from our truck or trailer at your venue, garden or event
  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information
  • Tacos and taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas
  • Mexican drinks bar: margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas
