DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Put picnic tables near the traders
- Ask for allergen information at each stall
- Agree waste arrangements with traders
- Check every diet is covered by the line-up
We serve from the hatch throughout trading hours, made to order.
Vegan tacos alongside the rest.
How it compares
If you want a trader that adds atmosphere, tacos and burritos deliver. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What we offer in Becontree

Common questions in Becontree
Could you serve in Parsloes Park?
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.
Where would you park in Becontree?
It can be tricky, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. A parking suspension may be needed, and the whole of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you give allergen information?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, 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.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Read our taco bar guide.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
That is confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.
What access do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a photo and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
