Mexican street food or something else?
Burger stalls are common. A Mexican trader adds variety to a food line-up. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there is no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.

About our Mexican street food in Friern Barnet
Crew catering can be timed to your schedule, keeping your team going. On the menu are tacos, burrito bowls and burritos, and it is a good fit for community events and open days and school and charity events.
Events in Friern Barnet range from street parties and school fairs to markets and festivals. Public spaces and road closures usually need council permission, and we’ll send whatever the organiser needs from us. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

For planners, venues and organisers
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Hosting a party at home? Send us a picture of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we will tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
Friern Barnet: your questions answered
Do you come to school fairs around Friern Barnet?
Yes, with the school’s permission and a pitch the truck or trailer can reach. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
Where would you park in Friern Barnet?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. Some streets may need a parking suspension from the council, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you do crew catering?
We can. Crew, volunteer and hospitality catering is available, with or without a public stall.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too.
How many guests can you serve?
Our truck and trailer service generally suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Do you run a bar at festivals?
We can add our drinks bar if the event is licensed for it. Licensing is checked with you first.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t normally stop service from the truck or trailer. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
What do you need at the venue?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.

What else we do in Friern Barnet
DIY taco night versus a caterer
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- The event’s site rules and timings
- Room for the truck or trailer and customers
- Clearance from tents and gazebos
In Friern Barnet, 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’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
How the day works
On the day, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. We are ready to serve at the agreed time, planned around your event. Evening events in Friern Barnet have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; after that, the trading area needs lighting from the organiser or the site.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We send our menu, needs and the documents you ask for.
- We set up in the agreed window.
- Orders are served from the hatch while the event runs.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day

- Find out what power and water are available
- Name one person we can ask on the day
