Mexican street food near Puddle Dock
Mexican street food in Puddle Dock, from our truck or trailer
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. For hospitality and crew areas and street food and farmers’ markets, we will put together a menu of loaded nachos, quesadillas and tacos for your guests.
In Puddle Dock, community events include street parties, school fairs and markets. Public spaces and road closures typically need council permission, and we’ll send whatever the organiser needs from us. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.

Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- How long we are needed on site
There is no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican street food. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.

Space, access and the venue
We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Vehicle access before and after the event
- A pitch big enough for the truck or trailer and a queue
- A pitch with space around it, away from tents and structures
As a London location, Puddle Dock is inside the ULEZ, and parking and loading take planning: tell us about parking bays, permits, a driveway or whether a parking suspension is needed.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.

How it works
On the day, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. Service starts at the time we’ve agreed, planned around your event. A December market in Puddle Dock loses the light at about 3:50pm, so site lighting matters for traders and visitors alike. 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 set up in the agreed window.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack down and tidy the pitch.
