Wedding Mexican catering in Upton
DIY taco night versus a caterer
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 be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Wedding Mexican catering in Upton, from our food truck or trailer
Evening food needs to be quick and filling, and tacos or nachos from the truck or trailer do the job. Popular choices include quesadillas, fresh guacamole and salsas and a taco bar for the wedding breakfast, which works well for day-after wedding get-togethers and late-evening wedding food.
Couples in Upton often marry locally and hold the reception at a venue nearby. A food truck needs a courtyard or forecourt it can reach, so check vehicle access with the venue early. Parking and loading in London need planning, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ. Everything is prepared fresh for your wedding and served from our food truck or trailer.

What we need at the venue

Upton 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.

What else we do in Upton
Organising for someone else?
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so guests are looked after quickly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
The process
On the day, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. We are ready to serve at the agreed time, planned around your event. A winter wedding in Upton gets dark early, at about 3:50pm in December, so the evening food will be served after dark. Ask your venue what outdoor lighting it has near where we will park.
- We start with your date, venue, guest numbers and ideas for the day.
- You get a suggested wedding menu and a quote to match.
- We confirm access, the serving spot and the running order with the venue.
- On the day we set up and serve when your running order says.
- Once service is done, we pack away quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
Getting a price

We can feed your photographer and band too.
Common questions in Upton
Can you bring your truck or trailer to West Ham Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Peter's Church?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
What if our speeches run late?
It happens at most weddings. Service starts when your running order says, even if that moves.
Do you cook on site?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
What do you serve?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. See our menu for ideas.
How much is a food truck for an event?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll go through the licensing with you.
How many guests can you serve?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.
