Mexican street food in Croydon, served fresh
For festivals, numbers can be larger than most of our events, so tell us expected visitor numbers and trading hours and we will plan stock and service. It suits school fairs and fundraisers and agricultural and county shows, with vegan tacos, quesadillas and tacos.
Street parties and school fairs in Croydon can be a great fit for a taco truck, once the road closure or site permission is in place. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

What else we do in Croydon
DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
About the menu
Quesadillas
A good choice for families.
Burritos
A burrito keeps visitors going.
For event organisers in Croydon
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
Space, access and the venue
We serve from a truck or trailer, so where we park matters. Here’s what we look for:
- The event’s site rules and timings
- Vehicle access before and after the event
- Details of power, water and waste arrangements
London streets around Croydon can be narrow and busy, and all of Greater London sits inside the ULEZ. Tell us about loading, permits and any parking suspension when you enquire.

Questions from Croydon
Do you come to school fairs around Croydon?
We can, as long as the school agrees and the truck or trailer can reach the pitch. Tell us the date, the site and roughly how many visitors you expect.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Park Hill Recreation Ground?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
When do you arrive?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Tell us about your space and numbers and we will recommend how to serve.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.
Can you bring margaritas?
Our drinks bar can be added where the event’s licensing allows. We’ll go through the licensing with you.
Do you need water?
Let us know what the pitch has and we will confirm our needs. We confirm power and water with each booking.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Catering for every guest
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Provide seating near the food
- Make sure the line-up includes vegan and gluten-free options
- Make allergen information visible at every stall
- Confirm power and water with traders
We set up at the agreed time, following your trader pack.

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Food, drinks or both
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Serving staff
- How many guests we’re serving
Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
