How Mexican catering works in SM5
You can keep the menu short or make it a feast: tacos on their own, or tacos with burritos, nachos and quesadillas. Our Mexican drinks bar can be added too. Popular choices include loaded nachos, a build-your-own taco bar and fresh salsas and guacamole, and it suits christenings and family parties and engagement and anniversary parties.
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered.
- It begins with the basics: your date, venue, guest numbers and dietary needs.
- We suggest a sample menu and send a quote for your event.
- 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.
- Once everyone has eaten, we tidy our serving area and head off.

Local landmarks in Carshalton
We can bring the truck to events near Carshalton Park, Sutton College of Learning for Adults and The Railway Tavern and the streets around them. Other local landmarks include Church of All Saints (under half a mile south-east), Harris Junior Academy Carshalton (less than half a mile east) and Carshalton High School for Girls (less than half a mile north-west). Carshalton has its own railway station: Carshalton station. A little further out are Centrale Croydon (2.9 miles east) and Municipal Borough of Sutton and Cheam (1.5 miles south-west). Open spaces near Carshalton include Duppas Hill and Sutton Ecology Centre Grounds.
Catering events across SM5
SM5 covers everything from Carshalton, The Wrythe and Wallington to 2 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.
Carshalton: With the B277 and B278 nearby, getting the truck or trailer to Carshalton is straightforward. If people are travelling in by rail, Carshalton has its own station, Carshalton station. A December event in Carshalton will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.
Events we cater in SM5

- Big birthday celebrations
- Family gatherings and christenings
- Weddings, day or evening
DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Planning for every diet
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
- Count children separately
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
We can still serve from the hatch if it rains, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
Ask us about plates, cutlery and serving staff and we will set out what we can do in your quote.
Prices and what affects them
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How many guests we’re serving
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- The length of service
- Food, drinks or both
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican catering. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.
Details that help
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Your menu ideas
- A picture of where we’d park
- The date and rough timings
- The venue or postcode
The quickest way to a quote is to use our quote form. Give us the details of your event, and we will put together a menu and price.
Organising for someone else?
Organising a club, school or community event in SM5? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Tell us about the event and we will suggest a menu.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Questions from SM5
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.
What does Mexican catering cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Send us the details for a quote.
Are plates and napkins included?
That is confirmed with each quote. Let us know what the venue supplies.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t typically stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Can you serve drinks as well?
We can. The drinks bar offers margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free drinks. Licensing is checked with you first.
Is the food very hot?
It’s up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
