Mexican street food for Heathrow events
Mexican street food for your event in Heathrow
A taco stall covers many diets at once: there are vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, with corn tortillas. That helps organisers balance the line-up. Popular choices include vegan tacos, loaded nachos and tacos, which works well for agricultural and county shows and community events and open days.
Near Heathrow, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hot-food truck is a big help. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
Perfect for your event in Heathrow
It is food people already know and want.
Big or small, a truck or trailer works well. Typical bookings include:

Space, access and the venue
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- Trader information and site rules
- Vehicle access before and after the event
- A pitch with space around it, away from tents and structures
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
Heathrow questions
Do you cater in villages like Heathrow?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Is Heathrow close to London?
Roughly 16 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll talk licensing through with you.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Can you handle a lunchtime rush?
With fillings ready to go, service is quick.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Do you need power?
We’ll confirm our needs once we know the pitch details, including power and water.
How much is a food truck for an event?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually need. Tell us your date and numbers and we will reply with a quote.
What happens on the day
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can enjoy your event. Late-September events in Heathrow see sunset at about 7:05pm, so later trading needs some lighting. Tell us how the site will be lit when you send the pitch details.
- You send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- We confirm our menu, our pitch needs and the paperwork your event asks for.
- We set up the truck or trailer on the pitch at the agreed time.
- We serve from the hatch through the trading times you set.
- When trading ends, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time

Planning for every diet
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Plan seating near the food area
- Give traders a single information pack
- Tell traders about power and water before the day
- Feed crew and volunteers at set times
Crew meals are served at set times.
Margaritas and Mexican beer, subject to the event’s licence.
Is Mexican street food right for your event?
One-dish stalls leave some visitors out. Our menu gives visitors choice. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.

- A truck or trailer that comes to you

Should I do it myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
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.
What affects the price in Heathrow
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- The length of service
- What’s on the menu
- Distance and access to the venue
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there is no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
