Mexican street food for your event in Bow

Fillings are slow-cooked in advance and kept hot on site, which keeps the queue moving at busy times. For agricultural and county shows and community days, we can serve burrito bowls, vegan tacos and quesadillas for your guests.

Street parties and school fairs in Bow can be a great fit for a taco truck, once the road closure or site permission is in place. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

Prices and what affects them

We will give you a clear quote. What affects it most:

Parking and the route in
Whether you need disposables
Whether you add a drinks bar or food
The number of people

Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you can choose what you need.

Details that help

The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:

Your menu ideas
What power and water the site has
Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
The address or venue name

Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, plus any dietary needs, and we’ll reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. To get started, use our quote form.

Organising for someone else?

Organising a club, school or community event in Bow? A truck or trailer serves a crowd quickly, with options for most diets. Tell us about the event and we will suggest a menu.

If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.

Before you choose a spot

We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. These are the things we check:

Your trader pack and site rules
Clear information on power, water and waste
Vehicle access to the pitch for set-up and break-down

In Bow, 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 picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

What we offer

Quesadillas
Burritos
Loaded nachos
Burrito bowls
Tacos
Vegan options

Step by step

Serving is quick: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. When service ends, we pack down. By late September, it’s dark in Bow at around 7:05pm, so later trading needs some lighting. Organisers should plan that into the site layout.

First, we check the dates.
We agree the menu and the pitch.
Paperwork goes over in good time.
The hatch opens when the event does.
We trade, then pack down.

How to prepare

Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
