Mexican street food in North Oxford
How our Mexican street food works in North Oxford
We agree a stall menu with you, perhaps chicken tinga, carnitas or birria, plus a vegan option such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. It works well for feeding crew and volunteers and race days and sports events, serving burrito bowls, loaded nachos and tacos.
In North Oxford, one trader covering most diets keeps it simple. A Mexican street-food truck can do that. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Questions from North Oxford
Is North Oxford close to London?
About 54 miles from central London, and we cover it.
Could you serve in Oxford University Parks?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
Can you keep it mild?
That’s your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Can you feed our volunteers?
Yes, at set times to suit your schedule. Tell us numbers and timings.
Do you come to North Oxford?
We do. North Oxford is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
How is the food prepared?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
How big an event can you cater?
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Send us your numbers and we will advise.
Do you do margaritas?
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 will go through the licensing with you.

Planning help
Can I do a taco night myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
