How it compares
Burger stalls are common. Tacos add something different to a food line-up. 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.

What Mexican street food costs
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Staff for serving and the bar
- The length of service
- How many guests we are serving
- Whether you need disposables
Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- A picture of where we’d park
- Your menu ideas
- The venue or postcode
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, use our quote form.

For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.

Easy to eat with a fork on the grass.
Tacos
Street tacos suit a festival crowd.
How the day works
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain doesn’t generally stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. A December market in Friday Hill loses the light at about 3:50pm, so site lighting matters for traders and visitors alike. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:20pm.
- Send us your event details and pitch information.
- We send our menu, needs and the documents you ask for.
- We set up in the agreed window.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack down and tidy the pitch.
How to prepare
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Ask the venue about power and water
How to get a price

Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.

Common questions in Friday Hill
Which station should guests use for Friday Hill?
The closest is Chingford station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to The Highams Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Let us know your numbers and space and we will recommend how to serve.
Can you plan for allergies?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms.
Can you trade at our festival or fair?
Send us the event details, dates and pitch information, and we will check availability.
Can you cater in a back garden?
That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire, including Friday Hill.
Before you choose a spot
We will be honest if a space won’t work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- Vehicle access before and after the event
- The event’s site rules and timings
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
London streets around Friday Hill 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.
