Space, access and the venue

We serve from a truck or trailer, so where we park matters. Here’s what we look for:

Your arrangements for power, water and waste
Pitch space for the vehicle and a queue
A level pitch on firm ground

In Canonbury, 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.

Mexican street food for your event in Canonbury

Fillings are slow-cooked in advance and kept hot on site, which keeps the queue moving at busy times. For sports clubs and race days and village fairs, we will put together a menu of burritos, burrito bowls and loaded nachos for your guests.

Events in Canonbury range from street parties and school fairs to markets and festivals. Organisers generally need council permission for public spaces and road closures, and we’ll send whatever the organiser needs from us. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.

Why choose Mexican street food in Canonbury?

For crew catering, sandwiches are easy but uninspiring. A hot burrito or taco bowl keeps crew going. The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.
