Mexican street food for Mill Hill events
Mexican street food in Mill Hill, from our truck or trailer
Our food is easy to eat standing up or on the grass, which suits festival crowds. Popular choices include vegan tacos, tacos and loaded nachos, and it suits open days and community events and county and country shows.
For events in a place like Mill Hill, one hot-food trader that suits most diets makes life easy. Tacos and burritos can do exactly that. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Questions to ask before you book
- A food hygiene rating you can check
- What the price includes, item by item
- How late numbers can change
- Space, access, power and water needs
Before you choose a spot
Everything is served from our truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- A pitch with space around it, away from tents and structures
- Pitch space for the vehicle and a queue
- Vehicle access to the pitch for set-up and break-down
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

The process
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. Send us a photo of the space if you’re unsure. Summer events in Mill Hill have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree what we will serve and where.
- We send the paperwork your event asks for.
- The hatch opens when the event does.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Share the running order, including any speeches

Mill Hill questions
Is Mill Hill close to London?
Roughly 67 miles from the centre of London.
Can you trade at a school fair in Mill Hill?
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.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Will there be long queues?
Tell us expected visitor numbers and we’ll plan for peak times, so queues keep moving.
Who clears up?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll talk it through.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Tell us about your space and numbers and we will recommend how to serve.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
How much does Mexican street food cost in Mill Hill?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Contact us for a quote.
Should I do it myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
