Mexican street food in Dagenham, served fresh
Few stalls draw a queue like a Mexican food truck. The smell of warm tortillas and slow-cooked fillings brings people over, and orders are served quickly from the hatch. It suits sports clubs and race days and summer fairs and fêtes, serving burritos, loaded nachos and quesadillas.
Street parties and school fairs in Dagenham can be a great fit for a taco truck, once permissions are sorted. We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.

The process
Service is quick and friendly: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. Afterwards we clear our area. A December market in Dagenham loses the light at about 3:50pm, so site lighting matters for traders and visitors alike. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- You get our menu and pitch requirements.
- We confirm power, water and access arrangements.
- On the day, we’re ready before the busiest hours.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
How to prepare
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches

Dagenham questions
What’s the nearest station to Dagenham for guests?
Guests can use Dagenham Dock station, about 1.2 miles south-west of Dagenham.
Where would you park in Dagenham?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. A parking suspension may be needed, and the whole of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Can you keep it mild?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Can you feed our volunteers?
Yes, at set times to suit your schedule. Tell us numbers and timings.
How quickly can you serve?
We plan stock and service around your expected numbers, so queues keep moving.
Do you need water?
Send pitch details and we’ll confirm.
Do you cover Dagenham?
Yes, we do. Dagenham is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
How long are you on site?
It depends on your event. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.
Before you choose a spot
If a space isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you, and help find another spot. The main points are:
- Your trader pack and site rules
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding
- A pitch big enough for the truck or trailer and a queue
In Dagenham, 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.

What Mexican street food costs
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How many staff you need
- The number of people
- How long we’re needed on site
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- A picture of the space, if it is a garden or field

Comparing your options
