Mexican street food for Charing Cross events
Mexican street food in Charing Cross, from our food truck or trailer
Few stalls draw a queue like a Mexican food truck. People follow the smell of warm tortillas, and orders are served quickly from the hatch. We serve quesadillas, vegan tacos and burritos, and it is a good fit for community days and outdoor screenings.
Events in Charing Cross range from street parties and school fairs to markets and festivals. Public spaces and road closures generally need council permission, and we’ll provide what the organiser asks for from us. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.

FAQs for Charing Cross
Which station should guests use for Charing Cross?
Guests can use London Charing Cross station, which is right in Charing Cross.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Victoria Embankment Gardens?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
How many guests can you serve?
Our truck and trailer service usually suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, 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?
Can you handle a lunchtime rush?
Tell us expected visitor numbers and we will plan for peak times.
Do you do parties at home?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Can you keep it mild?
That’s your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Mexican street food or something else?
Burger and hot dog stalls are familiar but similar. A Mexican trader adds variety. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.

Street food for events around Charing Cross
Charing Cross is about 1 mile south-east of City of Westminster, in Greater London. Whether your event is in the middle of Charing Cross or on the outskirts, Mexican street food works the same way: fresh service from our food truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. We serve in 764 places in Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages.
For a public event, it helps to tell people that London Charing Cross station is in Charing Cross itself. A school such as Soho Parish CofE Primary School running a summer fair could book a taco truck.

What happens on the day
When service finishes, we pack up and leave our area tidy. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. Summer events in Charing Cross have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
- You get our stall menu, what we need at the pitch and the paperwork you request.
- We set up the truck or trailer on the pitch at the agreed time.
- We cook to order and serve through the agreed trading hours.
- At the close, we clear our pitch.
