Our Mexican catering in SE23

Mobile Mexican catering means the kitchen comes to you: we park our truck or trailer on site and serve hot food from it. You don’t need a kitchen at the venue. Popular choices include loaded nachos, burritos and quesadillas, and it suits weddings, day or evening and charity and school events.

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

  1. First, send us a few details about your event.
  2. We suggest fillings and extras and send a quote.
  3. Access, the serving spot, power and water are agreed in advance.
  4. We arrive, set up and serve from the hatch.
  5. We pack down after service and leave the area tidy.

Mexican catering across SE23: what to know

There are 3 towns and 0 villages and hamlets in SE23, so whether your event is in Sydenham, Perry Vale and Crofton Park or a quiet village, the approach is the same: a level, firm spot, a way in and agreed timings.

Perry Vale: Before you pencil in Mayow Park, find out who manages it: driving a truck onto parkland and selling food there both need their agreement. A school such as Perrymount Primary School running a summer fair or fundraiser could book a taco truck. From late May to late September, sunset in Perry Vale moves from about 8:50pm to 7:05pm. Let us know if service will run after dark, and we will talk about lighting.

Planning the serving area

We will agree the spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:

  • Some distance from houses and neighbours
  • Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
  • Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch

Mexican catering or something else?

Next to a hog roast or a barbecue, tacos make vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to cater for, thanks to separate fillings and toppings.

Questions to ask before you book

  • How many staff are serving, and for how long
  • Travel and parking costs
  • Plates and napkins, or nothing at all
  • What the caterer needs from your venue

Who books Mexican catering?

Food is cooked to order and served hot, rather than sitting out on a buffet table.

If you’re planning any of these, we can help:

  • Garden get-togethers
  • School fairs and fundraisers
  • Milestone birthdays
  • Company summer parties

Diets, allergies and planning

Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:

  • Let us know if a guest is coeliac
  • Count children separately
  • Collect dietary needs when guests reply
  • Tell us what other food is being served

We arrive early enough to set up calmly. All we need is someone to show us the agreed spot.

Burrito bowls are a good choice for anyone avoiding tortillas, and they’re easy to adapt for different diets.

What’s on the menu

Loaded nachos

Tortilla chips piled with cheese, a filling, salsa, guacamole and toppings, made for sharing.

Salsas and guacamole

Guacamole and salsas, freshly made, with lime and fresh toppings.

We bring our food truck or trailer to your venue, cook to order and serve tacos, burritos and more from the hatch. A build-your-own taco bar is another option.

What if it rains?

We serve from the truck or trailer whatever the weather, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.

Is the food very hot?

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