How our Mexican street food works in Loxford
Few stalls draw a queue like a Mexican food truck. The smell of warm tortillas and slow-cooked fillings brings people over, and orders are served quickly from the hatch. For music and food festivals and community events and open days, we can serve burrito bowls, tacos and quesadillas.
In Loxford, community events include street parties, school fairs and markets. Public spaces and road closures typically need council permission, and we’ll provide what the organiser asks for from us. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

Your questions about Mexican street food in Loxford
What’s the nearest station to Loxford for guests?
Guests can use Barking station, about 0.6 miles south of Loxford.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Loxford Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect.
Do you come to Loxford?
Yes, we do. We serve at events in Loxford and across Greater London. Send us your date to check availability.
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. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll talk licensing through with you.
Can you feed our volunteers?
Yes. We can cook for crew, volunteers or a hospitality area as well as, or instead of, a public stall.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Please ask us. Let us know what you already have, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
What do you serve?
Mexican street food: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Guest numbers
- Travel, parking and access
- Timings and hours
- What’s on the menu
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there is no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- What power and water the site has
- The date and time of the event
- The address or venue name
- What you’d like on the menu
Not sure what you need yet? That is fine: give us the basics about your event, and we will suggest a menu. To start, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
For event organisers in Loxford
Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
How the day works
Here’s how the day normally runs: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you are ready, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. By late September, it’s dark in Loxford at around 7:05pm, so later trading needs some lighting. Organisers should plan that into the site layout.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- We reply with our stall menu and what we need on site.
- We confirm power, water and access arrangements.
- We plan to be ready for the lunchtime rush.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
Before we arrive
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
How to get a price
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.

Why choose Mexican street food in Loxford?
It covers several diets with one trader, which saves pitches.
Whatever you’re celebrating in Loxford, our truck or trailer can be the centre of it. We’re happy to cater:
- Community events and open days
- Agricultural and county shows
- Seasonal and night markets
- Crew and volunteer catering
If your event is in Loxford Park, the organiser will need the landowner’s permission; we’ll supply what they need from us.
Comparing caterers
- How each diet is kept separate
- Where to see their hygiene rating
- Whether plates, napkins and cutlery are included
- Staff numbers and hours
Should I do it myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Make allergen information visible at every stall
- Check traders’ packaging and waste plans
- Confirm power and water with traders
- Ask about peak-time capacity
We set up at the agreed time.
Nachos for groups.
Where the truck can go in Loxford
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but there are a few things to check:
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding
- Vehicle access to the pitch for set-up and break-down
- A pitch big enough for the truck or trailer and a queue
As a London location, Loxford 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.
Is Mexican street food right for your event?
One-dish stalls leave some visitors out. Tacos, burritos, bowls and nachos give choice. Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
