Mexican street food for Orpington events
How we price Mexican street food
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- The menu you choose
- How many guests we are serving
- Whether you need disposables
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- The venue or postcode
- Expected numbers
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.

Orpington is one of 764 places in Greater London where we can bring Mexican street food. We cater right across the region, from Orpington to Croydon (about 9 miles away).
A market or festival in Jubilee Country Park would be licensed by whoever manages the park, and we will provide our part of the paperwork. PTA volunteers planning an event for a school like Perry Hall Primary School might like a trader who brings everything and serves quickly. Shows and fairs in the Kent Downs National Landscape, about 5 miles from Orpington at most, sometimes have rules on where traders can drive. Send us the site plan and we will plan around it.

- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- We reply with our stall menu and what we need on site.
- We confirm power, water and access arrangements.
- We plan to be ready for the lunchtime rush.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Share the running order, including any speeches

Common questions in Orpington
Is parking a problem for events in Orpington?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. A parking suspension may be needed, and the whole of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
What do you serve?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar.
Can you serve in the rain?
Rain does not generally stop service from the truck or trailer. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
What does Mexican street food cost?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually need. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
Do you cater in Orpington?
We do. Orpington is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
How spicy is the food?
It is up to you: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Do you need power?
We will confirm our needs once we know the pitch details.
Organising for someone else?
Hosting a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about access, and we will tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Comparing your options
Crew sandwiches are easy but dull. A hot meal keeps crew happy. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.
