Mexican street food in Leyton

Mexican street food in Leyton, served fresh

Our food is easy to eat standing up or on the grass, which suits festival crowds. It works well for summer fairs and fêtes and agricultural and county shows, with vegan tacos, loaded nachos and burritos.

Street parties and school fairs in Leyton can be a great fit for a taco truck, once permissions are sorted. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

Questions from Leyton

Which station should guests use for Leyton?

Leyton has its own station: Leyton Midland Road station.

Can you trade at a school fair in Leyton?

Yes, with the school’s permission and a pitch the truck or trailer can reach. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.

Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?

Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Let us know your numbers and space and we’ll suggest the best set-up.

Can you bring margaritas?

It depends on the event’s licence. Tell us whether the event has a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, and we’ll go from there.

What happens if it rains?

The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.

Can you keep it mild?

The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.

Do you bring plates and cutlery?

Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.

Can vegans eat at your stall?

We do. Our stall menu includes vegan and gluten-free options, with allergen information for every dish.

Why choose Mexican street food in Leyton?

How to compare caterers

What affects the price in Leyton

Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:

  • Plates, napkins and cutlery
  • Distance and access to the venue
  • The menu you choose
  • Whether you add a drinks bar or food

Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.

Getting an accurate quote

To check availability and price, we need:

  • Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
  • The date and time of the event
  • Gate widths, slopes and the ground
  • A picture of where we’d park

Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.

DIY taco night versus 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.

A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.

For event organisers in Leyton

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.

Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Leyton? A truck or trailer serves a crowd quickly, with options for most diets. Give us the details and we will suggest a plan.

Before you choose a spot

Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We need:

  • Flat, firm ground
  • A pitch with space around it, away from tents and structures
  • Details of power, water and waste arrangements

As a London location, Leyton is inside the ULEZ, and parking and loading take planning: tell us about parking bays, permits, a driveway or whether a parking suspension is needed.

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Popular choices

  • Burritos
  • Tacos

The process

The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain does not usually stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. A December market in Leyton loses the light at about 3:50pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:20pm.

  1. First, we check the dates.
  2. We agree what we’ll serve and where.
  3. We send the paperwork your event asks for.
  4. We’re ready to serve as visitors arrive.
  5. We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.

Preparing for the day

  • Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
  • Share the running order, including any speeches
  • Let us know who to talk to on the day
