Mexican catering in SW8: what to expect

Mobile Mexican catering means the kitchen comes to you: our truck or trailer parks at your venue and we serve hot food straight from the hatch. You do not need a kitchen at the venue. It suits anniversaries and engagements and weddings, day or evening, serving burrito bowls, loaded nachos and quesadillas.

When we arrive, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. Service starts at the time we have agreed, so everything runs to your schedule.

  1. Send us your date, numbers and venue.
  2. Together we plan a menu around your guests’ diets.
  3. We check the route in and where the truck or trailer will stand.
  4. Food is served from the hatch or a taco-bar table.
  5. After the last serving, we clear our area.

Taco catering in SW8: local guide

SW8 covers everything from Stockwell, Kennington and North Brixton 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.

Kennington: When the service is at a church such as Calvary Church of God in Christ, the food normally happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck. Reaching Kennington by road is easy for us, thanks to the A203 and A3204. Daylight in Kennington runs to about 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. If your event carries on later, tell us what lighting the venue has.

What we need at the venue

Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but there are a few things to check:

  • A spot for a taco-bar serving table
  • A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
  • Space for guests to queue

Events we cater in SW8

Tacos and burritos go down well with most crowds: it’s familiar, filling and easy to eat standing up or sitting down.

Whatever the occasion, the serving truck can be a highlight. We are happy to cater:

  • Engagement celebrations
  • Big birthday celebrations
  • Markets and community events
  • Leaving parties

For event organisers in SW8

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so everyone is served promptly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.

Can I do a taco night myself?

For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.

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.
