How it works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. A winter wedding in Crystal Palace gets dark early, at about 3:55pm in December, so evening guests will be queuing in the dark. Festoon lights by the truck help guests see the menu.
- We start by checking your date.
- You pick the menu with us.
- We confirm access and the serving spot with your coordinator.
- Guests build their tacos at the taco bar or order at the hatch.
- After serving, we clear away.
How to prepare
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers

Wedding Mexican catering for your wedding in Crystal Palace
Wedding taco bars feel relaxed, generous and a little different. Everyone fills their own tortillas from the fillings, salsas and toppings, and the queue becomes a chance to chat. It works well for weddings with mixed diets and garden and marquee weddings, serving burrito bowls, fresh guacamole and salsas and quesadillas.
For a wedding in Crystal Palace, a taco bar for the wedding breakfast or tacos as evening food can both work. Narrow streets mean we plan where the truck or trailer stops, and a parking suspension may be needed at some venues. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

What we need at the venue

- Allergen information for each dish
- When final numbers are due

Should I do it myself?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
