Wedding Mexican catering in Shortlands
Wedding Mexican catering in Shortlands, from our truck or trailer
A food truck can make a colourful backdrop for photos, and guests like watching their food being served. For sharing-style wedding meals and gatherings the day after a wedding, we will put together a menu of evening tacos, tacos and burrito bowls.
In Shortlands, couples might book tacos for the wedding breakfast, the evening, or both. Narrow streets mean we plan where the truck or trailer stops, and a parking suspension may be needed at some venues. We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.

What’s on the menu
Burrito bowls
Bowls suit guests who’d rather skip the tortilla.
Loaded nachos
A tray of nachos is easy to share.
Where the truck can go in Shortlands
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
- Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
Shortlands is in London, inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, which covers all of Greater London, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits, a driveway or whether a parking suspension is needed.
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, let us know and we’ll adjust where we can. A winter wedding in Shortlands 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 the plan with your venue.
- Food is served from the taco bar or the hatch.
- We serve, then pack down.
Before we arrive
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Find out what power and water are available

Other catering in Shortlands
Can I do a taco night 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, with allergen information for every dish.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Shortlands questions
We’re having a ceremony at St Mark's Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Which station should guests use for Shortlands?
Guests can use Shortlands station, about 0.5 miles north of Shortlands.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Is a taco bar smart enough for a wedding?
It can be dressed up or kept relaxed, depending on how it is served.
Do you do evening food as well as the main meal?
Yes: one part of the day, or both main meals. Share your plans and we will suggest a menu.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
What’s on the menu?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we’ll check the licensing with you and your venue.
