Mexican street food in Richmond, served fresh
A taco stall covers many diets at once: there are vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, with corn tortillas. That helps organisers balance the line-up. It works well for school and charity events and food markets, serving quesadillas, burrito bowls and tacos.
Street parties and school fairs in Richmond 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.

Common questions in Richmond
Could you bring a taco truck to a school fair in Richmond?
Yes, if the school is happy and there’s access for the truck or trailer. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
Is parking a problem for events in Richmond?
It can be tricky, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. A parking suspension may be needed, and the whole of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Can you trade at our festival or fair?
Tell us about the event, dates and pitch, and we will check availability.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Do you give allergen information?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
Can you cater in a back garden?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
Do you cook on site?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Do you need water?
We will confirm our needs once we know the pitch details.
The process
When service finishes, we pack down and clear our own area. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. A December market in Richmond loses the light at about 3:55pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- 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 clear and leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
Getting a price
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We will send you a clear quote.

Planning the serving area
We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
- Room for the truck or trailer and customers
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding
London streets around Richmond can be narrow and busy, and all of Greater London sits inside the ULEZ. Tell us about loading, permits and any parking suspension when you enquire.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
Can I do a taco night myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
