How Mexican catering works in SE20
Keep it simple or go further: a taco menu, or tacos plus loaded nachos, quesadillas and burrito bowls. Our Mexican drinks bar can be added too, with licensing checked with you. Popular choices include fresh salsas and guacamole, burritos and a build-your-own taco bar, which works well for leaving parties and engagement and anniversary parties.
We arrive in good time before service, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. Guests come up to order when service opens.
- You tell us the date, the venue, rough guest numbers and any dietary needs.
- We put together a menu around your guests and quote for it.
- Together we confirm where the truck or trailer will park, plus power and water.
- On the day we arrive, set up and serve hot food from our truck or trailer.
- When service ends, we pack down and clear our area.
Cost
The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.
What you get with us
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
- A quote that sets out what’s included

Taco catering in SE20: local guide
SE20 covers everything from Beckenham, Selhurst and South Norwood to 0 small villages and hamlets, and a truck or trailer suits most settings with access and level ground. In towns, plan parking and loading; in villages, tell us about lanes, gates and ground.
Penge: The A234 run on or near Penge, so the drive in with the truck or trailer is a simple one. For guests coming by train, Penge has its own station, Penge West station. Around midsummer it stays light in Penge until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
Planning for every diet
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
- Plan a vegan filling as well as a vegetarian one
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
Rain does not stop us serving from the truck or trailer, though guests need somewhere under cover to eat.
Ask about extra salsas and toppings for a bigger spread.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.

FAQs for SE20
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll suggest mild options.
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. For anything outside that, ask us.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too.
When do you arrive?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
Can you cater in a back garden?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
What do you need at the venue?
The main things are access and a level spot: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
