Mexican street food for your event in Pentonville
Few stalls draw a queue like a Mexican food truck. The smell of warm tortillas and slow-cooked fillings brings people over, and orders come out fast from the hatch. On the menu are tacos, loaded nachos and vegan tacos, and it suits hospitality and crew areas and fundraisers and fêtes.
In Pentonville, street events mean planning access, closures and where the truck fits. Tell us the pitch details and timings. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.

What we need at the venue
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- Clearance from tents and gazebos
- Trader information and site rules
- A pitch big enough for the truck or trailer and a queue
In Pentonville, 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’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Your questions about Mexican street food in Pentonville
Which station is closest to Pentonville?
Guests can use Essex Road station, about 0.5 miles north-east of Pentonville.
Is parking a problem for events in Pentonville?
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 cook on site?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Can vegans eat at your stall?
Yes, always. We serve vegan fillings such as black beans or spiced mushrooms.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we will go through the licensing with you.
Can you serve alcohol at our event?
We can add our drinks bar if the event is licensed for it. We’ll check the licensing with you.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.
Can we book you as a trader?
Send us the event details, dates and pitch information, and we’ll check availability.

How it works
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you are ready, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. Late-September events in Pentonville see sunset at about 7:05pm, so later trading needs some lighting. Organisers should plan that into the site layout.
- It starts with your event details 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 cook to order and serve through the agreed trading hours.
- We pack away and leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
