Mexican catering in St Giles
How our Mexican catering works in St Giles
With mobile Mexican catering, we bring the kitchen with us: we park our truck or trailer on site and serve hot food from it. No kitchen is needed on site. For staff parties and office lunches and engagement and anniversary parties, we’ll put together a menu of tacos, burritos and fresh salsas and guacamole and more.
Around St Giles, 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. All of Greater London, St Giles included, is inside the ULEZ. Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included, with allergen information for everything we serve.

About the menu
Build-your-own taco bar
Fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings laid out for guests to help themselves, with warm tortillas to fill. Each guest makes tacos their way.
Salsas and guacamole
Every taco needs salsa and guacamole, and guests add as much as they like.
Planning for every diet
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Put any allergies in writing for us
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
- Let us know about any other food at the event
Rain does not stop us serving from the truck or trailer, though guests need somewhere under cover to eat.

Space, access and the venue
Everything is served from our truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
In St Giles, 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 are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Parking and the route in
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- How many staff you need
- How many guests we’re serving
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
What to tell us
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- The venue or postcode
- The date and time of the event
- A photo of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- Your menu ideas
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. To send your details, tell us about it on our contact page.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
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.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so everyone is served promptly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
