Mexican street food for Clerkenwell events
Before you choose a spot
We will be honest if a space will not work. The main points are:
- Trader information and site rules
- Flat, firm ground
- Room for the truck or trailer and customers
In Clerkenwell, 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.
On the menu in Clerkenwell
- Loaded nachos
- Burritos
- Vegan options
- Quesadillas
- Burrito bowls
- Tacos
How our Mexican street food works in Clerkenwell
One Mexican trader covers several diets: we serve vegan and vegetarian fillings and corn tortillas for gluten-free visitors. That helps organisers balance the line-up. For community days and race days and sports events, we can serve vegan tacos, burritos and tacos for your guests.
In Clerkenwell, community events include street parties, school fairs and markets. Public spaces and road closures normally need council permission, and we will send whatever the organiser needs from us. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
