Step by step
On the day, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. Service starts at the time we have agreed, so everything runs to your schedule. Summer events in Kew have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- You get our menu and pitch requirements.
- We confirm power, water and access arrangements.
- We plan to be ready for the lunchtime rush.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
Getting ready for the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready

DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
For event organisers in Kew
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
How we price Mexican street food
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Distance and access to the venue
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- The length of service
What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so share your ideas with us. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Where the event is
- How we drive in and where we can park
- The date and rough timings
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you need. To ask for one, drop us a line using the enquiry form.

Questions from Kew
Do you come to school fairs around Kew?
Yes, if the school is happy and there is access for the truck or trailer. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
What about parking in Kew?
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 need power and water?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we’ll confirm what we need with your quote.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Can you feed our volunteers?
Yes, at set times to suit your schedule. Tell us numbers and timings.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll go through the licensing with you.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
