Mexican street food for Clapham events
Mexican street food for your event in Clapham
The menu is agreed with organisers, perhaps chicken tinga, carnitas or birria, plus a vegan option such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. On the menu are quesadillas, burritos and burrito bowls, and it suits festivals and country shows.
Near Clapham, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a taco truck is a welcome sight. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.

How the day works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. For an evening event in Clapham, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after that, the trading area needs lighting from the organiser or the site.

A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
