How our Mexican street food works in Heron Quays
A Mexican food truck pulls a crowd at any outdoor event. People follow the smell of warm tortillas, and orders come out fast from the hatch. At summer fairs and fêtes and open-air performances, we will put together a menu of burrito bowls, loaded nachos and burritos.
In Heron Quays, a taco truck suits street parties and school fairs, once permissions are sorted. Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Your questions about Mexican street food in Heron Quays
What about parking in Heron Quays?
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 Heron Quays?
Yes, if the school is happy and there’s access for the truck or trailer. Tell us the date and pitch details.
How quickly can you serve?
We plan stock and service around your expected numbers, so queues keep moving.
What access do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, plus the venue’s permission. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Do you need electricity?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we will park.
What do you need at the pitch?
Send pitch details and we will confirm, including power and water.
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.
The menu, item by item

A big tortilla wrapped round rice, beans, a filling and toppings.

What affects the price in Heron Quays

Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Check every diet is covered by the line-up
- Ask for allergen information at each stall
- Share vehicle access times with traders
- Ask traders about serving speed at peak times
Allergen details are on hand for every dish, and the menu shows vegan and gluten-free options.
Burrito bowls for gluten-free visitors.
What we need at the venue
Before the day, we’ll agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Trader information and site rules
- A pitch big enough for the truck or trailer and a queue
- A pitch with space around it, away from tents and structures
In Heron Quays, 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 are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
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.
Mexican street food or something else?
Some street food is slow to serve one order at a time. With fillings prepared ahead, service is fast. 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.
