Wedding Mexican catering in Dalston
Wedding Mexican catering for your wedding in Dalston
We time service around your day: after the drinks reception, between the speeches or once evening guests arrive. Timings are agreed with your venue in advance. It works well for rustic barn weddings and engagement parties at home, with quesadillas, evening tacos and burrito bowls.
Couples in Dalston often marry locally and hold the reception at a venue nearby. 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. Parking and loading in London need planning, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ. We prepare everything fresh for your wedding and serve it straight from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

How the day works
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Late-September weddings in Dalston see the sun go down at about 7:05pm, which can put the evening food just after dusk. A late-May wedding keeps its light until roughly 8:50pm.
- First, we check availability for your date.
- You pick the menu with us.
- We confirm the plan with your venue.
- Guests build their tacos at the taco bar or order at the hatch.
- We serve, then pack down.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready

Before you book anyone
- Any travel, parking or access charges
- Payment terms and deposit
- A clear list of what’s included
- The venue requirements
Before you choose a spot
Everything is served from our truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A place for the truck or trailer near where guests are eating
- Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer
- Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site
In Dalston, as everywhere in Greater London, the ULEZ applies and kerb space is limited. Where will the truck or trailer stop? A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Menu ideas
- Taco bar wedding breakfast
- Margarita bar
- Guacamole and salsas
- Burritos and bowls
- Evening tacos
- Nachos to share
Catering for every guest

- Add your band and photographer to the numbers
- Tell us how many evening guests to expect
- Send us the running order and speech times

We pack down after service; you carry on celebrating.

Comparing your options
A hog roast is popular at weddings, but harder for vegetarian and vegan guests. Separate fillings and toppings cover every diet. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we will set out what’s included.

Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Questions from Dalston
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Haggerston Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
Is parking a problem for events in Dalston?
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.
Can you cater the whole day?
We can. A taco bar works well as a wedding breakfast, and tacos or nachos make good evening food.
What’s on the menu?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food.
Do you cook on site?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Do you do a wedding bar?
Our drinks bar can be added, with alcohol-free choices too. Licensing is checked with you and the venue.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Timings and hours
- Staff for serving and the bar
- How many guests we’re serving
- Distance and access to the venue
Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Your date and when you want service to start
- A picture of where we’d park
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Diets and allergies you know about
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.
Working with your venue
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so guests are looked after quickly. Let us know how long the break is.
