About our taco bar hire in Upminster
Our staff set up the taco bar and look after it through service: warming tortillas, keeping fillings hot and refilling the salsas as they go. Nobody from your side needs to lift a spoon. It works well for birthday parties and evening wedding receptions, serving guacamole, fresh salsas and pickled onions and toppings.
London gardens are often reached only through the house, and many venues in Upminster have no vehicle access to the room. The station can go where the truck cannot, as long as the venue agrees, and the route from our parking spot to the station needs to be clear. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.

Upminster: your questions answered
Could you serve in St. Andrew's Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Laurence?
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.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared.
Is the taco bar staffed?
The taco bar is served from a table or station by our staff, so you do not need helpers. We pack it away afterwards.
What space does a taco bar need?
Room for the table and a queue, plus a nearby place to unload. Power and water are confirmed with each booking.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Do you cover Upminster?
Yes, we do. Upminster is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
What happens on the day
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. Daylight in Upminster runs to about 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. If the taco bar is outdoors and runs later, tell us what lighting the venue has.
- Share a few details about the event.
- We send a sample spread and a quote.
- Access, power and water are agreed beforehand.
- We arrive, unload and lay out warm tortillas, fillings and toppings.
- At the end, we take everything away.
Preparing for the day
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
How to get a price

What’s on the menu
Guacamole
Freshly made guacamole with lime.
Toppings
Lime, coriander, pickled onions, cheese and crema, agreed with you.
Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Is taco bar hire right for your event?
A standard buffet often sits out cold. We keep the fillings hot and refill the dishes through service. Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
