How Mexican catering works in SW12
You can keep the menu short or make it a feast: 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. On the menu are tacos, fresh salsas and guacamole and quesadillas, and it suits garden parties and christenings and family parties.
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, tell us and we will adjust the start of service where we can.
- 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.
- Before the day, we agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- On the day, we set up and serve from the truck or trailer, or from a taco-bar station.
- Once everyone has eaten, we tidy our serving area and head off.

Catering events across SW12
SW12 covers everything from Streatham, Balham and Streatham Hill 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.
Balham: For a christening or wedding at a church such as Church of St Mary, a food truck at a garden or venue nearby is an easy way to feed everyone. For guests coming by train, Balham has its own station, Balham station. A December event in Balham will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. At midsummer, the light holds until around 9:20pm.
What affects the price in SW12
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- How long we’re needed on site
- Whether you need disposables
- Food, drinks or both
- How many staff you need
Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What to tell us
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- What power and water the site has
- Where the event is
We quote for each event separately, based on what you need. For a quote, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Catering for every guest
We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests. To make it work smoothly:
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
If you’ve chosen a taco bar, the fillings, salsas and toppings go out on a serving table, and guests help themselves.
Quesadillas go down well with children, because they’re simple.
Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.

Common questions in SW12
How much space 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. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Do you need power and water?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we will park.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including Greater London. Find your area.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
What food and drinks do you offer?
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, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Can you serve in the rain?
Rain doesn’t typically stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
What is mobile Mexican catering?
We arrive with our own mobile kitchen. We set up at your venue, serve hot food to order and pack down afterwards.
