Wedding Mexican catering in Shadwell, served fresh
Our drinks bar can serve margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with alcohol-free options too. Licensing is checked with you and the venue first. It works well for parties after a register office wedding and weddings in a marquee or garden, serving fresh guacamole and salsas, loaded nachos and evening tacos.
For a wedding in Shadwell, 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. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

Can I do a taco night myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
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.

How we price wedding Mexican catering
Contact us for a quote, which reflects:
- Distance and access to the venue
- How many guests we are serving
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Your quote confirms the full price.
What to tell us
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- What you’d like on the menu
- What power and water the site has
Still deciding on the menu? That is fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we will make suggestions. To start, fill in our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
In Shadwell, 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’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
What we offer
- Evening tacos
- Burritos and bowls
- Guacamole and salsas
- Taco bar wedding breakfast
- Margarita bar
- Nachos to share
Common questions in Shadwell
Is it possible to have you in Russia Dock Woodland?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
What about parking in Shadwell?
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 cook on site?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Is a taco bar smart enough for a wedding?
It can be dressed up or kept relaxed, depending on how it is served.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including Greater London. Find your area.
Can you liaise with the venue coordinator?
Yes, it makes life easier. Introduce us and we’ll sort the details.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we will plan the menu around them.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Tell us about your space and numbers and we’ll suggest the best set-up.
Catering for every guest
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Share your running order, including speeches
- Connect us with your coordinator
- Have cover for guests if the weather turns
- Add your band and photographer to the numbers
We park where the venue agrees, ideally where guests can see us, which makes a good photo.
We can feed your photographer and band too.
