Is Mexican street food right for your event?
Hot-cabinet food lacks appeal. Our food is made to order. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican street food. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
Why book with us
- Allergen information for everything we serve
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
- Access, space and power checked in advance

DIY taco night or a caterer?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Space, access and the venue
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:
- Your trader pack and site rules
- Pitch space for the vehicle and a queue
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
London streets around Dagenham Green 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.

Dagenham Green: your questions answered
Could you bring a taco truck to a school fair in Dagenham Green?
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.
What’s the nearest station to Dagenham Green for guests?
Dagenham Dock station, in Dagenham Green itself.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will go through the licensing with you.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food.
What documents can you send?
Send your requirements and we’ll respond with our documents.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Can you cater in a back garden?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a photo and we will talk it through.
Can you plan for allergies?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- What the venue already provides
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Food, drinks or both
- How many staff you need
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we will set out what’s included.
Details that help
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- The date and time of the event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Your menu ideas
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. Contact us for a quote: just drop us a line using the enquiry form.
