Mexican street food for Barnet events
Mexican street food for your event in Barnet
A Mexican food truck pulls a crowd at any outdoor event. The smell of warm tortillas and slow-cooked fillings brings people over, and orders are served quickly from the hatch. At festivals and street food and farmers’ markets, we can serve tacos, loaded nachos and vegan tacos for your guests.
Street parties and school fairs in Barnet can be a great fit for a taco truck, once the road closure or site permission is in place. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer.

Barnet questions
Is parking a problem for events in Barnet?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. A parking suspension may be needed, and the whole of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you come to school fairs around Barnet?
Yes, with the school’s permission and a pitch the truck or trailer can reach. Tell us the date and pitch details.
How quickly can you serve?
Tell us expected visitor numbers and we will plan for peak times.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including Greater London. See all areas.
What if the weather’s bad?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
How is the food prepared?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Who clears up?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Catering for every guest
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Put all trader information in one pack
- Confirm power and water with traders
- Plan seating near the food area
- Share vehicle access times with traders
Crew meals are served at set times.
Burrito bowls for gluten-free visitors.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.

Prices and what affects them
Contact us for a quote, and the price is based on:
- Guest numbers
- Timings and hours
- Distance and access to the venue
- How many staff you need
Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
What we need to know
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- What you’d like on the menu
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- A picture of the space, if it’s a garden or field
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
Where the truck can go in Barnet
We serve from a truck or trailer, so where we park matters. Here’s what we look for:
- A pitch with space around it, away from tents and structures
- Access for the truck or trailer at set-up
- Details of power, water and waste arrangements
In Barnet, 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.

The process
Service is quick and friendly: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. Afterwards we clear our area. Christmas markets in Barnet trade in the dark from about 3:55pm, so site lighting matters for traders and visitors alike. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:20pm.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree the menu and the pitch.
- We send the paperwork your event asks for.
- We are ready to serve as visitors arrive.
- We trade, then pack down.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Give us a contact for the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
