Your questions about Mexican street food in Old Oak Common
Could you bring a taco truck to a school fair in Old Oak Common?
Yes, with the school’s permission and a pitch the truck or trailer can reach. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Little Wormwood Scrubs?
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 will send what they need from us.
What happens if it rains?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
What access do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, plus the venue’s permission. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food. For alcohol, we will talk licensing through with you and your venue.
What do you serve?
Mexican street food: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
How quickly can you serve?
With fillings ready to go, service is quick.
Can you cater for crew and volunteers?
We can. Crew, volunteer and hospitality catering is available, with or without a public stall.
About our Mexican street food in Old Oak Common
A Mexican food truck pulls a crowd at any outdoor event. People follow the smell of warm tortillas, and orders come out fast from the hatch. It suits country shows and seasonal and night markets, serving loaded nachos, burritos and burrito bowls.
Street parties and school fairs in Old Oak Common can be a great fit for a taco truck, once the road closure or site permission is in place. We cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.

Planning the serving area

- Pitch space for the vehicle and a queue
- Clearance from tents and gazebos
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding
As a London location, Old Oak Common 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 will advise before booking.
