How our Mexican street food works in Nunhead
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance and kept hot on site, which keeps the queue moving at busy times. We serve loaded nachos, vegan tacos and quesadillas, and it’s a good fit for feeding crew and volunteers and school and charity events.
Events in Nunhead range from street parties and school fairs to markets and festivals. Organisers normally need council permission for public spaces and road closures, and we’ll send whatever the organiser needs from us. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.

Before you choose a spot
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but a few things matter:
- Clearance from tents and gazebos
- Pitch space for the vehicle and a queue
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding
London streets around Nunhead can be narrow and busy, and all of Greater London sits inside the ULEZ. Tell us about loading, permits and any parking suspension when you enquire.
