Mexican street food in Penge
How our Mexican street food works in Penge
Crew and volunteer meals are timed to suit you, keeping your team going. It works well for agricultural and county shows and sports club events, serving quesadillas, tacos and burrito bowls.
Street parties and school fairs in Penge can be a great fit for a taco truck, once the road closure or site permission is in place. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

For planners, venues and organisers
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
What happens on the day
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. By late September, it’s dark in Penge at around 7:05pm, so later trading needs some lighting. Organisers should plan that into the site layout.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- We reply with our stall menu and what we need on site.
- Power, water and access are agreed in advance.
- We plan to be ready for the lunchtime rush.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
Preparing for the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely

Planning the serving area
We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- The event’s site rules and timings
- A level pitch on firm ground
- Details of power, water and waste arrangements
In Penge, as everywhere in Greater London, the ULEZ applies and kerb space is limited. Where will the truck or trailer stop? A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
FAQs for Penge
What’s the nearest station to Penge for guests?
Penge West station, in Penge itself.
Where would you park in Penge?
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.
How many guests can you serve?
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Do you have options for kids?
Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
What do you need at the venue?
The main things are access and a level spot: 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.
Do you need power?
Send pitch details and we will confirm.
How long do you serve for?
It depends on your event. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
Can you bring margaritas?
Our drinks bar can be added where the event’s licensing allows. Licensing is checked with you first.
Should I do it myself?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
