Should I do it myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Step by step
Your timings come first. If things run behind, tell us and we’ll adjust the start of service where we can. For an evening event in Old Town, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after that, the trading area needs lighting from the organiser or the site.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We send our menu, needs and the documents you ask for.
- We set up in the agreed window.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
How to get a price
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, tell us about it on our contact page.

Your questions about Mexican street food in Old Town
Is parking a problem for events in Old Town?
That depends on the street. A drive, a courtyard or a bay suspended by the council can all work, so tell us what’s outside your venue. The ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
Can you trade at a school fair in Old Town?
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.
Can you plan for allergies?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, including Old Town.
Can you keep it mild?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Can you handle a lunchtime rush?
Tell us expected visitor numbers and we’ll plan for peak times.
Can guests build their own tacos?
We can. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Read our taco bar guide.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.

If your event is in Duppas Hill, the organiser will need the landowner’s permission; we’ll supply what they need from us. For a public event, it helps to tell people that Old Town has its own station, West Croydon station.
