Mexican street food for your event in Ratcliff
For festivals, numbers can be larger than most of our events, so tell us expected visitor numbers and trading hours and we’ll plan around them. For feeding crew and volunteers and village fêtes and summer fairs, we’ll put together a menu of loaded nachos, tacos and quesadillas and more.
Street parties and school fairs in Ratcliff can be a great fit for a taco truck, once permissions are sorted. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

Common questions in Ratcliff
Is parking a problem for events in Ratcliff?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. A parking suspension may be needed, and the whole of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Stepney Green Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so contact us early.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we will keep their options separate.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will suggest mild options.
Do you need electricity?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we will park.
How much does Mexican street food cost in Ratcliff?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually need. Tell us your date and numbers and we’ll reply with a quote.
Will you have a stall at our event?
Send us the details, and we will reply with our availability and what we need.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.

Mexican street food or something else?

Where the truck can go in Ratcliff

- A pitch big enough for the truck or trailer and a queue
- Vehicle access before and after the event
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding
Ratcliff is in London, inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, which covers all of Greater London, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays, off-street space or a parking suspension.

The process
Serving is quick: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. When service ends, we pack down. A December market in Ratcliff loses the light at about 3:55pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:20pm.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We confirm our menu, pitch needs and paperwork.
- We set up in the agreed window.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Find out what power and water are available
Getting a price
To get a price, just send a quick message through our quote form. Give us the details of your event, and we will put together a menu and price.
