About our Mexican catering in Acton
Every menu is agreed with you, with fillings such as slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, alongside vegan choices such as black beans or spiced mushrooms. For leaving dos and retirement parties and office lunches and team days, we will put together a menu of loaded nachos, burrito bowls and fresh salsas and guacamole and more.
Around Acton, parking and loading are the main things to plan for a truck or trailer. Narrow streets, permit bays and yellow lines all affect where we can stop, so tell us about a driveway, a courtyard or whether a parking suspension is needed when you ask for a quote. Like all of Greater London, Acton is inside the ULEZ. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

About the menu
Tacos
Warm tortillas with a choice of fillings, finished with salsas and toppings. Fillings are agreed with you, such as carnitas, chicken tinga or spiced mushrooms.
Loaded nachos
Crisp tortilla chips loaded with toppings, salsa and guacamole, made for sharing.
Planning the serving area
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
- A spot for a taco-bar serving table
In Acton, 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.
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Planning a food truck in Acton
Acton is about 3 miles west of Kensington, in Greater London. Give us the address of your event in Acton, and we’ll plan the journey and set-up. Acton is one of 764 places in Greater London where we can bring Mexican catering. You can also see our page for London, about 7 miles away.
Guests leaving a church like Dominion Cinema after a christening could walk over to a nearby garden where the tacos are ready. Thinking of an event in Ealing Common? Public parks generally need the landowner’s permission for a food truck, so check first.
We cater events across W3, W4, NW10 and W12. Streets in the area include High Street, Church Road and Woodhurst Road, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. Acton is on the B490 and A4000, so it is easy for us to reach with the truck or trailer. If your venue is just outside Acton, we also cover Acton Vale (1 mile east), Acton Green (1 mile south), Bedford Park (1 mile south), Hanger Hill (1 mile north-west) and South Acton (1 mile south-west). Larger places within reach include London (7 miles east), City of Westminster (5 miles east), Marylebone (5 miles east), Kensington (3 miles east), St Pancras (6 miles east) and Shoreditch (8 miles east).
A little further out are Westfield London (2 miles east) and Queen Charlotte's and Chelsea Hospital (1.3 miles east). The countryside around Acton includes Castlebar Hill and Hanger Hill Wood.
- Local schools include Leap Service - the National Autistics Society (less than half a mile south-west) and Ark Soane Academy (0.5 miles south-west)
- Pubs nearby include The Windmill pub (less than half a mile south)
- Local facilities include Municipal Borough of Acton (under half a mile south) and Library for Iranian Studies (less than half a mile south-west)
Can I do a taco night myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
How the day works
When service finishes, we pack down and clear our own area. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. A December event in Acton will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and how many.
- We come back with menu ideas and a quote.
- Closer to the day, we confirm timings and arrangements.
- We serve hot food from our truck or trailer at the agreed time.
- When you’re done, we pack away.
Preparing for the day

Your questions about Mexican catering in Acton
Is parking a problem for events in Acton?
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 a reception after a service at Dominion Cinema?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
How many guests can you cater for?
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case.
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. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Let us know your numbers and space and we will suggest the best set-up.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes, children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll suggest mild options.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect, and we will keep their options separate.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
How it compares
Sit-down meals need a kitchen, tables and more staff. A food truck or trailer is its own kitchen, so we need a suitable spot, access and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed when you book. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.
