Wedding Mexican catering in Balham, from our truck or trailer
Wedding taco bars feel relaxed, generous and a little different. Everyone fills their own tortillas from the fillings, salsas and toppings, and the queue turns into part of the fun. We serve tacos, loaded nachos and quesadillas, and it is a good fit for engagement parties at home and farm and barn venues.
London weddings around Balham often mean a ceremony at a church or register office, then a reception at a hired venue. For a truck or trailer, the venue needs a courtyard, forecourt or car park we can drive into, so check vehicle access with the venue early. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and parking needs planning. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

Balham questions
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Mary: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is parking a problem for events in Balham?
That depends on the street. A drive, a courtyard or a bay suspended by the council can all work, so tell us what’s outside your venue. The ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
Do you do a taco bar?
We can. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.
Do you have dairy-free options?
We can. Dairy-free options are part of our menus.
Can you plan for allergies?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
Can you handle dietary needs at our wedding?
Yes. There are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests, plus allergen information for every dish.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so contact us early.
Can you feed our photographer and band?
Of course. Add your suppliers to the final numbers.
