Mexican street food near Payden Street
DIY taco night or a caterer?
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. Read our guide to taco bars.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Mexican street food for your event in Payden Street
Our food is easy to eat standing up or on the grass. We serve burritos, tacos and loaded nachos, and it suits hospitality and crew areas and festivals.
At a field event near Payden Street, power and water may be limited; let us know and we will confirm the arrangements. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included, and we give allergen information for every dish.
The process
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. A photo of the space helps. A December market in Payden Street loses the light at about 3:50pm, so site lighting matters for traders and visitors alike. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:15pm.
- Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
- You get our stall menu, what we need at the pitch and the paperwork you request.
- On the day, we arrive in the set-up window and get ready to trade.
- We serve from the hatch through the trading times you set.
- We pack away and leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
