Mexican street food for Derry Downs events
About our Mexican street food in Derry Downs
Crew catering can be timed to your schedule, so your team eats well on a long day. For feeding crew and volunteers and open days and community events, we will put together a menu of tacos, loaded nachos and burrito bowls for your guests.
Street parties and school fairs in Derry Downs can be a great fit for a taco truck, once permissions are sorted. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.

How it compares
A single pizza or burger stall can’t cover every visitor. Our menu gives visitors choice from one pitch. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.
Why us?
- Fast service, even with a queue
- Menus chosen with you
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests
- Set-up planned with you and your venue
Read our pricing or the cost guide.
Before you choose a spot
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:
- Vehicle access to the pitch for set-up and break-down
- A pitch with space around it, away from tents and structures
- Room for the truck or trailer and customers
Derry Downs is in London, inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, which covers all of Greater London, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits, a driveway or whether a parking suspension is needed.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.

Questions from Derry Downs
Can you trade at a school fair in Derry Downs?
Yes, with the school’s permission and a pitch the truck or trailer can reach. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
What about parking in Derry Downs?
That depends on the street. A drive, a courtyard or a bay suspended by the council can all work, so tell us what’s outside your venue. The ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
Can you cater for crew and volunteers?
Yes, timed to your schedule. Send us numbers and times.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll talk licensing through with you.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.
Do you cover Derry Downs?
Yes, we do. Derry Downs is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
How we price Mexican street food
These are the factors that matter most:
- Whether you need disposables
- Serving staff
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
