Mexican street food in Forest Hill, from our truck or trailer
Festivals can be bigger than our usual 50 to 400 guests, so share expected numbers and trading hours and we will plan stock and service. On the menu are quesadillas, loaded nachos and burritos, and it’s a good fit for crew and volunteer catering and school fairs and fundraisers.
In Forest Hill, community events include street parties, school fairs and markets. Public spaces and road closures usually need council permission, and we’ll send whatever the organiser needs from us. We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.

Can I do a taco night myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.

Why choose Mexican street food in Forest Hill?
It feeds crew and volunteers well.
Big or small, a truck or trailer works well. Common bookings include:
- Village fêtes and summer fairs
- Community events and open days
- Country shows
- Food markets
If your event is in Peckham Rye, the organiser will need the landowner’s permission; we’ll supply what they need from us.
What your quote should include
- How late numbers can change
- Where to see their hygiene rating
- Exactly what’s included in the price
- Allergen information for each dish
Where the truck can go in Forest Hill
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Pitch space for the vehicle and a queue
- Clearance from tents and gazebos
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
In Forest Hill, 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 you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Comparing your options
A single pizza or burger stall can’t cover every visitor. Tacos, burritos, bowls and nachos give choice. Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What you get with us
- Menus chosen with you
- Quick, friendly service from the hatch
- Allergen information for everything we serve
- Set-up planned with you and your venue
