You can keep the menu short or make it a feast: a taco menu, or tacos plus loaded nachos, quesadillas and burrito bowls. Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can come from our drinks bar. On the menu are burritos, fresh salsas and guacamole and a build-your-own taco bar, and it suits anniversaries and engagements and fundraisers and school events.

Here’s how the day typically runs: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time.

Mexican catering across SE6: what to know

SE6 covers everything from Catford, Lewisham and Hither Green 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.

Catford: By rail: Catford Bridge station is about 0.5 miles away. Around Catford, historic houses include Eltham Palace (2.8 miles east) and Queen's House (2.8 miles north). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and vehicles early. A December event in Catford will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so choose a spot where guests can see what they’re ordering. At midsummer, the light holds until around 9:20pm.

Before you choose a spot

We will agree the spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:

  • Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
  • The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
  • Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch

Diets, allergies and planning

Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included. To make it work smoothly:

  • Tell us how many children are coming
  • Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
  • Have a covered area ready in case of rain
  • Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event

We have allergen information for every dish at the hatch.

A tray of loaded nachos works well to start or as a late snack.

Is Mexican catering right for you?

Pizza and burger vans are familiar choices. Mexican street food stands out.

Questions to ask before booking

  • How each diet is kept separate
  • How bad weather is handled
  • Plates and napkins, or nothing at all
  • When payment is due

The menu, item by item

Salsas and guacamole

Salsas and guacamole, made fresh for your event, with lime and fresh toppings.

Loaded nachos

Crisp tortilla chips loaded with toppings, salsa and guacamole, made for sharing.

DIY taco night or a caterer?

You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.

FAQs for SE6

How does mobile Mexican catering work?

We arrive with our own mobile kitchen. We set up at your venue, serve hot food to order and pack down afterwards.

Which areas do you serve?

We cover London and the South East, including Greater London. See all areas.

Is there a minimum number of guests?

That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.

Do you cook on site?

We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.

Do you serve in the rain?

We can still serve in the rain. Plan a marquee, gazebo or indoor space for guests to eat in.

Do you have options for kids?

Yes. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.

What access do you need?

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 picture of the space and the way in.
