Mexican catering in W3: what to expect

Our truck and trailer service tends to suit around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case, so let us know how many you expect. It works well for engagement celebrations and wedding breakfasts and evening food, serving fresh salsas and guacamole, tacos and a build-your-own taco bar.

When we arrive, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. We are ready to serve at the agreed time, so everything runs to your schedule.

  1. Send us your date, numbers and venue.
  2. We plan a menu that covers every diet.
  3. We check the route in and where the truck or trailer will stand.
  4. Guests order at the hatch or build their own at the taco bar.
  5. After the last serving, we clear our area.

Planning a food truck in W3

From Ealing, Acton and Harlesden to 0 villages and hamlets, events across W3 range from town-centre venues to gardens and fields, 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.

Acton: A gathering in Ealing Common would need the park owner’s say-so for any catering vehicle, and that is worth sorting out early. Around Acton, historic houses include Gunnersbury Park (1.4 miles south-west) and Hogarth's House (1.6 miles south). Estates and historic houses tend to set their own rules for caterers, so find out what yours allows first. Winter evenings in Acton close in by about 3:55pm, so choose a spot where guests can see what they’re ordering. At midsummer, the light holds until around 9:20pm.

Planning the serving area

Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but there are a few things to check:

  • Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
  • Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch

DIY taco night versus a caterer

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. Our taco bar guide explains how.

Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
