Before you choose a spot
We will be honest if a space will not work. What matters most:
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
- Pitch space for the vehicle and a queue
- Clearance from tents and gazebos
London streets around Greengate 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.

What Mexican street food costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- How many staff you need
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Travel, parking and access
- How long we are needed on site
Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- The address or venue name
- A picture of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Diets and allergies you know about
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. When you are ready, drop us a line using the enquiry form.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Share vehicle access times with traders
- Check allergen information is on display
- Check traders’ packaging and waste plans
- Put picnic tables near the traders
We keep in touch with your traders’ contact on the day.
A vegan filling on every menu.
The process
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, get the serving area ready, and get on with serving. A December market in Greengate loses the light at about 3:50pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:20pm.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- You get our menu and pitch requirements.
- We confirm power, water and access arrangements.
- On the day, we’re ready before the busiest hours.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain

Greengate questions
What about parking in Greengate?
That depends on the street. A drive, a courtyard or a bay suspended by the council can all work, so tell us what’s outside your venue. The ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
Do you come to school fairs around Greengate?
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.
Can you keep it mild?
That’s your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
Can you do gluten-free food?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms.
Can guests build their own tacos?
We can. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
When do you arrive?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book.
Popular choices

Comparing your options
Some traders struggle with vegan and gluten-free visitors. We can serve vegan fillings and corn tortillas. Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so tell us what you have in mind. We will suggest options to suit your budget.

Can I do a taco night myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
