Mexican street food for Paddington events
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Mexican street food in Paddington, from our food truck or trailer
We trade at festivals, fairs, markets, school fairs and community events in and around Paddington. For race days and sports events and community days, we will put together a menu of vegan tacos, burrito bowls and quesadillas.
In Paddington, community events include street parties, school fairs and markets. Organisers normally need council permission for public spaces and road closures, and we’ll send whatever the organiser needs from us. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.

The process
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain doesn’t normally stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Christmas markets in Paddington trade in the dark from about 3:55pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:20pm.
- Send us your event details and pitch information.
- We send our menu, needs and the documents you ask for.
- We arrive and set up at the agreed time.
- Orders are served from the hatch while the event runs.
- We pack down and tidy the pitch.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Ask the venue about power and water

- Distance and access to the venue
- Serving staff

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.

Your questions about Mexican street food in Paddington
Where would you park in Paddington?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. Some streets may need a parking suspension from the council, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Royal Parks of London?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Can you trade at our festival or fair?
Tell us about your event, and we’ll reply with our availability and what we need.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu.
What do you need at the venue?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
Is the food very hot?
It is up to you: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
