Mexican street food in Oval
Mexican street food in Oval, from our food truck or trailer
Few stalls draw a queue like a Mexican food truck. People follow the smell of warm tortillas, and orders are served quickly from the hatch. On the menu are loaded nachos, burritos and burrito bowls, and it’s a good fit for school fairs and fundraisers and community days.
Events in Oval range from street parties and school fairs to markets and festivals. Organisers typically need council permission for public spaces and road closures, and we’ll provide what the organiser asks for from us. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

Your questions about Mexican street food in Oval
Which station should guests use for Oval?
Guests can use Vauxhall station, which is right in Oval.
Is parking a problem for events in Oval?
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.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu.
Do you run a bar at festivals?
Our drinks bar can be added where the event’s licensing allows. Licensing is checked with you first.
Can we book you as a trader?
Send us the event details, dates and pitch information, and we’ll let you know if we’re available.
Do you cover Oval?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Oval and the rest of Greater London. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes. Vegan fillings such as spiced mushrooms or black beans are on the menu.
Can you keep it mild?
That’s your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
What we need at the venue
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but there are a few things to check:
- Trader information and site rules
- A pitch with space around it, away from tents and structures
- Clear information on power, water and waste
Oval is in London, inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, which covers all of Greater London, and parking can be tight: 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.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.

How the day works
Service is quick and friendly: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our area. By late September, it is dark in Oval at around 7:05pm, so later trading needs some lighting. Organisers should plan that into the site layout.
- You send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- We confirm our menu, our pitch needs and the paperwork your event asks for.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on our pitch.
- Tacos, burritos and more are served to order while the event is open.
- When trading ends, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
