Taco bar hire for your event in Shoreditch
We run the taco bar ourselves: keeping the fillings hot, warming tortillas and topping up the bowls. Your hosts can stay with their guests. It suits marquee parties and family get-togethers, serving a build-your-own taco bar, fresh salsas and slow-cooked fillings kept hot.
In Shoreditch, 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. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

What happens on the day
Service is quick and friendly: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. When service ends, we pack down. In Shoreditch, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan good lighting over the station.

- You get a suggested taco-bar menu and a quote.
- We check power, water and access with your venue.
- We arrive, unload and lay out warm tortillas, fillings and toppings.
- At the end, we take everything away.
Preparing for the day

FAQs for Shoreditch
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Leonard's Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Could the taco bar go somewhere in Shoreditch that the truck can’t reach?
Typically, if the venue agrees to a staffed station. We still need somewhere close by to unload, and in London that may mean a loading bay or a parking suspension.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
It depends on the event and the timings. As a guide, our bookings generally fall around 50 to 400 guests, so tell us your numbers.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.
Is the food very hot?
That is your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
How does taco bar hire work?
A serving table is laid with warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and each guest builds their own. Our staff keep it hot and topped up.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
What food and drinks do you offer?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. See our menu for ideas.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included. To make it work smoothly:
- Choose at least one vegan filling
- Ask guests with severe allergies to contact us before the day
- Have tables and seats ready for guests to eat at
- Ask the venue where we can park to unload
A covered spot keeps the bar and guests dry if it rains.
Ask us whether a second station would help with big numbers.
