About our Mexican street food in Hackney
A Mexican food truck pulls a crowd at any outdoor event. People follow the smell of warm tortillas, and orders are served quickly from the hatch. It works well for open days and community events and sports clubs and race days, serving vegan tacos, tacos and burrito bowls.
Street parties and school fairs in Hackney can be a great fit for a taco truck, once the road closure or site permission is in place. You’ll know what’s included before booking: menu, timings and any add-ons.

How it works
When service finishes, we pack down and clear our own area. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. At midsummer, events in Hackney stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- You send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- We send our menu, pitch requirements and the documents you ask traders for.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on our pitch.
- We cook to order and serve through the agreed trading hours.
- When trading ends, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day

Fairs, fêtes and events in Hackney
Hackney is about 4 miles north-east of London, in Greater London. From the centre of Hackney to the outskirts, Mexican street food works the same way: fresh service from our food truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. Hackney is one of 764 places in Greater London where we can bring Mexican street food.
Thanks to the A107 and B113, we can bring the truck or trailer to Hackney without fuss. A fundraiser for a church like Church of St Luke might use a food truck to give visitors a reason to stay longer.
We cover events in every part of E9, E8, E3 and E5. Your event could be at a home on Homerton High Street, Primrose Square and St John's Church Road. Hackney is on the A107 and B113, so it’s easy for us to reach with the truck or trailer. If your venue is just outside Hackney, we also cover Homerton (1 mile north), Lower Clapton (1 mile north), Hackney Central (1 mile west), London Fields (1 mile south-west) and Cambridge Heath (1 mile south-west). Larger places within reach include London (4 miles south-west), City of Westminster (5 miles south-west), Marylebone (5 miles south-west), Kensington (7 miles south-west), St Pancras (3 miles west) and Walthamstow (3 miles north).
Other landmarks nearby include Park (0.8 miles south-east) and Homerton University Hospital (under half a mile north). Open spaces near Hackney include Tower Hill and Old Ford Island.
- Schools near Hackney include Cardinal Pole Catholic School (under half a mile north) and The Urswick School (under half a mile west)
- Local pubs include Chesham Arms (less than half a mile north-west)
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
FAQs for Hackney
What about parking in Hackney?
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.
Could you bring a taco truck to a school fair in Hackney?
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.
What areas do you cover?
We cater across London and the South East, including Greater London. See all areas.
How much space do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
Can we book you as a trader?
Tell us about the event, dates and pitch, and we will check availability.
Do you have options for kids?
Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes. Dairy-free options are part of our menus.
How much is a food truck for an event?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Contact us for a quote.
Planning the serving area
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but there are a few things to check:
- A pitch with space around it, away from tents and structures
- Vehicle access before and after the event
- Clear information on power, water and waste
London streets around Hackney 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.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
For planners, venues and organisers
Hosting a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about access, and we’ll let you know if it’s a good fit.
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so guests are looked after quickly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
