Taco bar hire in Croydon, from our truck or trailer
Taco bars suit wedding breakfasts, parties and office lunches alike. Building your own is quick, which keeps the line moving, and nobody waits long. On the menu are burrito bowls, pickled onions and toppings and warm corn and flour tortillas, and it’s a good fit for wedding breakfasts and company parties.
In Croydon, a hired hall, a courtyard or a garden without drive access can still host a taco bar. A taco bar station can be set up away from the truck, with the venue’s agreement, and the route from our parking spot to the station needs to be clear. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our truck or trailer.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, 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.
Common questions in Croydon
What’s the nearest station to Croydon for guests?
South Croydon station, in Croydon itself.
Our venue in Croydon has no vehicle access: can we still have a taco bar?
Yes, with the venue’s agreement: our staff set up the station where your guests are. We still need to park and unload nearby, so tell us about loading bays, permits or a parking suspension.
What is a build-your-own taco bar?
Guests take a plate and fill their tortillas from the dishes on the bar. Our staff look after the bar throughout.
How many guests can a taco bar serve?
It depends on the event and the timings. As a guide, our bookings usually fall around 50 to 400 guests, so tell us your numbers.
Do you cover Croydon?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Croydon is within our area and the rest of Greater London. To check your date, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
How spicy is the food?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
What do you serve?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
For event organisers in Croydon
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can check the date.
Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Catering for every guest
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Put allergies in writing for us
- Ask guests about diets and allergies on the RSVP
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
We get there early enough to unload, lay out the table and heat everything through.
Our drinks bar can sit alongside the taco bar for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you.
