Mexican street food for your event in Little Ilford
A taco stall covers many diets at once: there are vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, with corn tortillas. That makes your food line-up easier. It works well for community days and music and food festivals, serving burrito bowls, burritos and tacos.
Street parties and school fairs in Little Ilford can be a great fit for a taco truck, once permissions are sorted. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

Before you choose a spot
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but a few things matter:
- Flat, firm ground
- Spacing from tents and other structures
- Pitch space for the vehicle and a queue
In Little Ilford, 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.
What affects the price in Little Ilford
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:

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.

Yes, if the school is happy and there’s access for the truck or trailer. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
What if the weather’s bad?
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.
