Mexican street food for Merton Park events
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
Mexican street food in Merton Park, from our food truck or trailer

Events in Merton Park range from street parties and school fairs to markets and festivals.

How the day works
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. Summer events in Merton Park have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- We check your dates.
- We agree the menu and the pitch.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- We’re ready to serve as visitors arrive.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve

Merton Park: your questions answered
Is parking a problem for events in Merton Park?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. Some streets may need a parking suspension from the council, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Can you trade at a school fair in Merton Park?
We can, as long as the school agrees and the truck or trailer can reach the pitch. Tell us the date, the site and roughly how many visitors you expect.
Will you have a stall at our event?
Tell us about your event, and we’ll reply with our availability and what we need.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Let us know your numbers and space and we will suggest the best set-up.
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 you cater in a back garden?
That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a photo and we’ll talk it through.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
What Mexican street food costs
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Food, drinks or both
- Travel, parking and access
- Timings and hours
- Staff for serving and the bar
Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
Details that help
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The date and rough timings
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Roughly how many adults and children
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
Comparing your options
Burger and hot dog stalls are familiar but similar. Tacos add something different. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Why us?
- Set-up planned with you and your venue
- Everything served fresh from the hatch
- Service planned around your numbers
- Every guest catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included

Planning the serving area
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but there are a few things to check:
- A pitch big enough for the truck or trailer and a queue
- Flat, firm ground
- Your trader pack and site rules
In Merton Park, 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.
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
