Mexican catering for your event in Highbury
The menu starts with tacos: warmed tortillas, a choice of fillings, and salsas, guacamole and toppings to finish. Burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos and quesadillas can sit alongside them. Popular choices include fresh salsas and guacamole, quesadillas and burritos, and it suits office lunches and team days and festivals, fairs and markets.
In Highbury, a courtyard, a venue forecourt or a garden with drive access can work well. If the garden is only reached through the house, a spot on the drive or the street may work, with permission. Send us a photo of the access. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Make sure the menu has a vegan option
- Mention any other caterers or courses
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
We can still serve from the hatch if it rains, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
A tray of loaded nachos works well to start.

Mexican catering or something else?
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. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.
Why book with us
- Menus for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests
- Menus chosen with you
- A quote that sets out what’s included
- Service planned around your numbers

Your questions about Mexican catering in Highbury
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Highbury Fields?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
What about parking in Highbury?
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 guests build their own tacos?
We can. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire, including Highbury.
Can you cater for special diets?
Yes. There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. We give allergen information for every dish.
Do you cater for big events?
It depends on the event. As a guide, it is around 50 to 400 guests; tell us your numbers and we’ll plan around them.
Can we add a bar?
Yes. The drinks bar offers margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free drinks. We will go through the licensing with you.
What if the weather’s bad?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
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.
For event organisers in Highbury
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can check the date.
What affects the price in Highbury
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Your choice of food and drinks
- How many staff you need
- Travel, parking and access
Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
