Mexican catering in Brixton, served fresh
Truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case, so tell us your numbers. Popular choices include loaded nachos, burritos and a build-your-own taco bar, which works well for weddings, day or evening and leaving dos and retirement parties.
Around Brixton, 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, Brixton is inside the ULEZ. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Brixton questions
What’s the nearest station to Brixton for guests?
Guests can use Brixton station, which is right in Brixton.
Where would you park in Brixton?
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.
When do you arrive?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Can you serve in the rain?
Rain does not usually stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Can you serve in bad weather?
We serve from the truck or trailer whatever the weather, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
Do you need power and water?
Let us know what’s available on site, for example a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
For event organisers in Brixton
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.

Planning a food truck in Brixton
Brixton is about 1 mile south of Stockwell, in Greater London. Whether your event is in the middle of Brixton or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. We serve in all 764 towns and villages in Greater London.
Guests leaving a church like Trinity Congregational Church after a christening could walk over to a nearby garden where the tacos are ready. Before you pencil in Max Roach Park, find out who manages it: driving a truck onto parkland and selling food there both need their agreement.
Wherever your event is in SW2, SW9 and SW4, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests. From Acre Lane, Jelf Road and Trent Road or a nearby road, we can bring Mexican catering there, given access. With the A204 and A2217 close by, Brixton is simple for us to get to with the truck or trailer for your event. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Stockwell (1 mile north), Clapham Park (1 mile west), Angell Town (1 mile north), Loughborough Junction (1 mile north-east) and Tulse Hill (1 mile south-east). We also cater in nearby towns such as London (3 miles north), City of Westminster (4 miles north), Marylebone (4 miles north), Kensington (5 miles north-west), St Pancras (5 miles north) and Shoreditch (5 miles north).
Nearby you’ll also find Baynard's Castle (3.8 miles north) and Dulwich Community Hospital (1.6 miles east). Open spaces near Brixton include Battersea Park Lake and Centre for Wildlife Gardening.

- Pubs nearby include Trinity Arms (within half a mile north)
- Parks and local facilities nearby include Streatham Hill (1.2 miles south)
Before you choose a spot
Every venue is different, so we will ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
- Details of power and water on site, agreed when you book
In Brixton, 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’ll say what we think.
Popular choices
- Loaded nachos
- Burritos

Comparing your options
If you want food that feels relaxed without being basic, tacos, burritos and nachos make a strong choice for your event in Brixton. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.
Why book with us
- Allergen information for everything we serve
- A truck or trailer that comes to you
- A quote that sets out what’s included

Read our pricing and the cost guide.
Planning for every diet
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Count children separately
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
For a taco bar, we lay the fillings, salsas and toppings out on a table, and guests help themselves while we keep it topped up.
Burrito bowls suit guests who’d rather skip the tortilla.
How it works
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can enjoy your event. Around midsummer it stays light in Brixton until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are normally served in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and how many.
- Expect a suggested menu 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.
- We pack away when service is over.
How to prepare
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
