About our Mexican street food in Lambeth
We agree a stall menu with you, perhaps chicken tinga, carnitas or birria, plus a vegan option such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. It works well for school and charity events and sports clubs and race days, with vegan tacos, tacos and loaded nachos.
Street parties and school fairs in Lambeth can be a great fit for a taco truck, once permissions are sorted. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.

How the day works
When we arrive, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. Service starts at the time we have agreed, planned around your event. Summer events in Lambeth have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- We check your dates.
- We agree what we’ll serve and where.
- We send the paperwork your event asks for.
- We are ready to serve as visitors arrive.
- We trade, then pack down.
How to prepare
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Find out what power and water are available

Street food for events around Lambeth
Lambeth is about 1 mile south-west of London, in Greater London. For an event in Lambeth, we can serve in gardens, fields, venues, car parks and courtyards with access in and around Lambeth. Lambeth is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London where we can bring Mexican street food.
For a public event, it helps to tell people that Vauxhall station is in Lambeth itself. Hot food from a truck or trailer could give a school fair, for a school such as Vauxhall Primary School, a busy corner.

FAQs for Lambeth
What about parking in Lambeth?
It can be tricky, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. Some streets may need a parking suspension from the council, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Is it possible to have you in Old Paradise Gardens?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
Do you come to Lambeth?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Lambeth is within our area and the rest of Greater London. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Can you serve in the rain?
Rain doesn’t typically stop service from the truck or trailer. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Let us know your numbers and space and we will recommend how to serve.
How is the food prepared?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Do you need power?
Send pitch details and we will confirm, including power and water.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will suggest mild options.
Catering for every guest
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Ask about peak-time capacity
- Agree waste arrangements with traders
- Book crew catering in advance
- Ask for allergen information at each stall
Allergen details are on hand for every dish, and the menu shows vegan and gluten-free options.
Bowls as a gluten-free choice.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
What we need at the venue
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We need:
- Access for the truck or trailer at set-up
- The event’s site rules and timings
- Clear information on power, water and waste
As a London location, Lambeth is inside the ULEZ, and parking and loading take planning: let us know about permits, bays, off-street space or a parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
How it compares
Burger and hot dog stalls are familiar but similar. A Mexican trader adds variety to a food line-up. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.
