Mexican street food for Cockfosters events
How our Mexican street food works in Cockfosters
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance and kept hot on site, so service stays quick through busy periods. We serve burrito bowls, quesadillas and vegan tacos, and it is a good fit for street food and farmers’ markets and village fairs.
In Cockfosters, community events include street parties, school fairs and markets. Organisers normally need council permission for public spaces and road closures, and we’ll send whatever the organiser needs from us. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.

Before you choose a spot
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- Clear information on power, water and waste
- Your trader pack and site rules
- Room for the truck or trailer and customers
As a London location, Cockfosters is inside the ULEZ, and parking and loading take planning: let us know about permits, bays, off-street space or a parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.

Questions from Cockfosters
Is it possible to have you in Belmont Open Space?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
What about parking in Cockfosters?
It can be tricky, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. A parking suspension may be needed, and the whole of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
Will you have a stall at our event?
Send us the details, and we’ll reply with our availability and what we need.
What paperwork do you provide?
Send us your list.
Can you keep it mild?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll plan the menu around them.
How the day works
Once service is over, we pack up and leave our area tidy. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. Christmas markets in Cockfosters trade in the dark from about 3:55pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:20pm.
- Send us your event details and pitch information.
- We confirm our menu, pitch needs and paperwork.
- We set up in the agreed window.
- Orders are served from the hatch while the event runs.
- We pack down and tidy the pitch.
