Mexican street food in Aldgate, served fresh

We slow-cook fillings ahead and finish them on site, which keeps the queue moving at busy times. For music and food festivals and county and country shows, we’ll put together a menu of vegan tacos, quesadillas and burritos.

In Aldgate, community events include street parties, school fairs and markets. Public spaces and road closures normally need council permission, and we’ll provide what the organiser asks for from us. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.

DIY taco night or a caterer?

You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.

Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.

Your questions about Mexican street food in Aldgate

Is it possible to have you in Finsbury Circus?

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 bring a taco truck to a school fair in Aldgate?

Yes, with the school’s permission and a pitch the truck or trailer can reach. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.

How is the food prepared?

Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.

Can you serve in the rain?

We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.

Do you need water?

We’ll confirm our needs once we know the pitch details, including power and water.

What about power on site?

That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.

Do you have vegan options?

Of course. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms.

Do you do crew catering?

Yes, at set times to suit your schedule. Tell us numbers and timings.

Planners, venues and businesses

Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.

Hosting a party at home? Send us a picture of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we will let you know if it’s a good fit.

The process

We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. At midsummer, events in Aldgate stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.

It starts with your event details and pitch information.
We confirm our menu, our pitch needs and the paperwork your event asks for.
We set up the truck or trailer on the pitch at the agreed time.
We serve from the hatch through the trading times you set.
When trading ends, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
