Mexican street food for Blackfen events
What happens on the day
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can spend time with your guests. At midsummer, events in Blackfen stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- We check your dates.
- We agree the menu and the pitch.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- We’re ready to serve as visitors arrive.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
Getting a price
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, plus any dietary needs, and you’ll get menu ideas and a price. Just tell us about it on our contact page.

Mexican street food for your event in Blackfen
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance and kept hot on site, which keeps the queue moving at busy times. At village fairs and county and country shows, we can serve quesadillas, burritos and tacos for your guests.
In Blackfen, a taco truck suits street parties and school fairs, once the road closure or site permission is in place. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

What we need at the venue
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but there are a few things to check:
- A level pitch on firm ground
- Pitch space for the vehicle and a queue
- Clearance from tents and gazebos
In Blackfen, 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’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
How we price Mexican street food
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Food, drinks or both
- The number of people
- Travel, parking and access

Details that help
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Where the event is
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Any dietary needs and allergies
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We’ll come back with a clear quote.

Common questions in Blackfen
Do you come to school fairs around Blackfen?
We can, as long as the school agrees and the truck or trailer can reach the pitch. Tell us the date, the site and roughly how many visitors you expect.
Is parking a problem for events in Blackfen?
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.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Do you cover Blackfen?
Yes, we do. Blackfen is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Tell us about your space and numbers and we’ll suggest the best set-up.
How long are you on site?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
Can you cater for crew and volunteers?
Yes, timed to your schedule. Tell us numbers and timings.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Diets, allergies and planning
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Plan for vegan and gluten-free visitors
- Check traders’ packaging and waste plans
- Check allergen information is on display
- Put all trader information in one pack
Crew meals are served at set times.
Loaded nachos for sharing.

Should I do it myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
