Mexican street food across RM10

Mexican catering across RM10

Food from a truck or trailer feels relaxed. People wander up, order at the hatch and head off with hot food. It works well for charity and school events and garden get-togethers, serving quesadillas, tacos and loaded nachos.

We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. Send us a photo of the space if you are unsure.

  1. Send us your date, numbers and venue.
  2. Together we plan a menu around your guests’ diets.
  3. We confirm the way in and where we will park.
  4. Guests order at the hatch or build their own at the taco bar.
  5. After the last serving, we clear our area.

Near you in Dagenham

We can bring the truck to events near Village Infants' School, St. Peter and St. Paul and Dagenham Park Community School and the streets around them. Other local landmarks include Cross Keys pub (within half a mile south-east) and Beam Valley Country Park (0.8 miles east). For guests coming by rail, the closest station is Dagenham Dock station, about 1.2 miles south-west. Other landmarks nearby include The Brewery (2.5 miles north) and River (1.1 miles south). For a walk before or after the party, there’s Dagenham Village Churchyard.

Taco catering in RM10: local guide

There are 3 towns and 2 villages and hamlets in RM10, so the setting can be anything from Dagenham, Becontree and South Hornchurch to a quiet hamlet: a level, firm spot, a way in and agreed timings.

Dagenham: A gathering in Beam Valley Country Park would need the park owner’s say-so for any catering vehicle, and that is worth sorting out early. For a fête or sports day at a school such as Village Infants' School, hot food from a truck or trailer saves the volunteers from cooking. Winter evenings in Dagenham close in by about 3:50pm, so choose a spot where guests can see what they’re ordering. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.

Diets, allergies and planning

We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:

  • Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
  • Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
  • Tell us what other food is being served
  • Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed

If you’ve chosen a taco bar, the fillings, salsas and toppings go out on a serving table, and guests help themselves while we keep it topped up.

Add our Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you.

Occasions we cater for in RM10

There is no kitchen needed at the venue, so it works in gardens, fields and grounds without catering facilities.

We can help if you are planning any of the following:

  • Festivals, fairs and markets
  • Birthday parties
  • Garden parties
  • Anniversaries and engagements

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.

A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.

Planners, venues and businesses

Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.

Hosting a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about access, and we will tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.

What we need at the venue

Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. These are the things we check:

  • A spot for a taco-bar serving table
  • Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
  • The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle

RM10: your questions answered

How is the food prepared?

Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.

Do you have gluten-free options?

Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food.

What if it rains?

Rain does not stop service from the hatch. Have somewhere covered ready for guests.

Is the food very hot?

That’s your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.

What space do you need?

Tell us about the venue and the way in, and we’ll confirm what we need. Space for a queue and, if you choose one, a taco-bar table helps too.

Do you clear up afterwards?

We clear our own area when service is finished. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.

When do you arrive?

That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
