Mexican street food in Plaistow, served fresh
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. For school fairs and fundraisers and sports club events, we can serve burritos, burrito bowls and quesadillas for your guests.
A fête near Plaistow might be on a field with no mains power; tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.

- Parking and the route in

Plaistow: your questions answered
How far is Plaistow from central London?
It is about 36 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Could you bring a taco truck to a school fair in Plaistow?
Yes, if the school is happy and there is access for the truck or trailer. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll go through the licensing with you.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, we can. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we will plan the menu around them.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it is short notice, it’s worth asking.
Can you plan for allergies?
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). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Where do you cater?
We cater across London and the South East, including West Sussex. Find your area.

Before you choose a spot
If a space isn’t suitable, we will tell you. What matters most:
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding
- Access for the truck or trailer at set-up
- Spacing from tents and other structures
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.
How it works
Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up our truck or trailer, and get on with serving. A December market in Plaistow loses the light at about 3:55pm, so site lighting matters for traders and visitors alike. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:20pm.
- We check your dates.
- We agree what we will serve and where.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- The hatch opens when the event does.
- We trade, then pack down.
Before we arrive
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
