Working with your venue
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
How we price Mexican street food
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- What the venue already provides
- Travel, parking and access
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Staff for serving and the bar
What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so share your ideas with us. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- The venue or postcode
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
It is easy to get a price: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We’ll send you a clear quote and a suggested menu.
How it works
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can spend time with your guests. Christmas markets in Elephant and Castle trade in the dark from about 3:55pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:20pm.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree what we’ll serve and where.
- We send the paperwork your event asks for.
- The hatch opens when the event does.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
Getting a price
We quote for each event separately, based on what you need. For a quote, use our quote form.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
What’s on the menu
Loaded nachos
Tortilla chips with cheese, salsa and toppings for sharing.
Burrito bowls
Easy to eat with a fork.
Comparing your options
A single pizza or burger stall can’t cover every visitor. Tacos, burritos, bowls and nachos give choice from one pitch. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.
Why us?
- A menu built around your guests
- Book food, drinks or both
- We cover Elephant and Castle and the whole of Greater London

- Vehicle access to the pitch for set-up and break-down
