The menu, item by item
Guacamole
Freshly made guacamole with lime.
Salsas
Fresh salsas, from a mild tomato salsa to something hotter, made for your event.
How our taco bar hire works in Colindale
The toppings are where guests get creative: pickled onions, coriander, lime, shredded lettuce and cheese, agreed with you in advance. On the menu are fresh salsas, pickled onions and toppings and slow-cooked fillings kept hot, and it is a good fit for barn parties and engagement parties.
In Colindale, a hired hall, a courtyard or a garden without drive access can still host a taco bar. The station can go where the truck can’t, as long as the venue agrees, and we need a short, clear route from where we unload. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

- Ask guests about diets and allergies on the RSVP
If the schedule slips, tell us and we’ll hold everything hot until you’re ready.
Extra salsas, from mild to hot, let guests choose their own heat.
Where the truck can go in Colindale
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- Room nearby to park and unload our vehicle
- Permission from the venue for us to set up
- Easy access from where we unload to the table
Colindale is in London, inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, which covers all of Greater London, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays, off-street space or a parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.

Is taco bar hire right for your event?
A standard buffet often sits out cold. Our fillings stay hot and the bowls are topped up as guests come back. Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.

Your questions about taco bar hire in Colindale
Is parking a problem for events in Colindale?
It can be tricky, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. A parking suspension may be needed, and the whole of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Matthias the Apostle church?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Tell us your numbers.
What about power on site?
It depends on the event and 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 does a taco bar cost?
We quote for each taco bar, depending on guests, menu, venue and timings. For a price, tell us about it on our contact page.
Do you cook on site?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
How spicy is the food?
It is up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.

Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
