Your questions about Mexican street food in Kensal Rise
Which station is closest to Kensal Rise?
Kensal Rise station, in Kensal Rise itself.
What about parking in Kensal Rise?
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.
Are plates and napkins included?
That’s confirmed with each quote. Let us know what the venue supplies.
Can you run a bar?
Yes. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food. We will check the licensing for alcohol with you.
What do you serve?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Can you plan for allergies?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
How much space 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.
How it compares
For crew catering, sandwiches are easy but uninspiring. A hot burrito or taco bowl keeps crew going. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.
What you get with us
- A clear quote
- Allergen-aware menus

What Mexican street food costs
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Timings and hours
- Distance and access to the venue
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Guest numbers
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.
