Mexican street food in Downham
How our Mexican street food works in Downham
Tacos, burritos and bowls are easy to eat on the move, which suits festival crowds. For village fairs and sports club events, we can serve burritos, tacos and burrito bowls and more.
In Downham, a taco truck suits street parties and school fairs, once permissions are sorted. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Space, access and the venue
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We look for:
- A pitch with space around it, away from tents and structures
- Vehicle access before and after the event
- Clear information on power, water and waste
In Downham, 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.
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.

FAQs for Downham
Which station is closest to Downham?
The closest is Grove Park station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Can you trade at a school fair in Downham?
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.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too.
Can you handle a lunchtime rush?
With fillings ready to go, service is quick.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we will plan the menu around them.
Can you cater in a back garden?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a picture and we will talk it through.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
