Mexican street food in Barking
Before you choose a spot
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We need:
- Pitch space for the vehicle and a queue
- Your trader pack and site rules
- Spacing from tents and other structures
In Barking, 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 picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

For event organisers in Barking
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will 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 tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Distance and access to the venue
- How long we’re needed on site
- The number of people
- What the venue already provides
Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you choose what goes in.
Details that help
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- What power and water the site has
- The address or venue name
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Your menu ideas
The quickest way to a quote is to tell us about it on our contact page. Give us the details of your event, and we will suggest a menu to suit.
How it works
When service finishes, we pack down and clear our own area. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. Evening events in Barking have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; after that, the trading area needs lighting from the organiser or the site.
- Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
- We confirm our menu, our pitch needs and the paperwork your event asks for.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on our pitch.
- We serve from the hatch through the trading times you set.
- At the close, we clear our pitch.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Name one person we can ask on the day
