DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Mexican street food in Smithfield, from our food truck or trailer
We slow-cook fillings ahead and finish them on site, which keeps the queue moving at busy times. We serve vegan tacos, loaded nachos and burrito bowls, and it is a good fit for summer fairs and fêtes and sports club events.
In Smithfield, a taco truck suits street parties and school fairs, once permissions are sorted. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our truck or trailer.

FAQs for Smithfield
Which station is closest to Smithfield?
Farringdon station, in Smithfield itself.
Is parking a problem for events in Smithfield?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. Some streets may need a parking suspension from the council, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
How quickly can you serve?
Fillings are cooked ahead and kept hot, so orders are assembled quickly.
What does Mexican street food cost?
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you want. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
How long do you serve for?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.
Will you have a stall at our event?
Tell us about the event, dates and pitch, and we’ll let you know if we are available.
Do you need power?
We will confirm our needs once we know the pitch details, including power and water.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give 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 the truck can go in Smithfield
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We need:
- Clear information on power, water and waste
- Spacing from tents and other structures
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding
In Smithfield, 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 are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
How the day works
When we arrive, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. Service starts at the time we’ve agreed, so everything runs to your schedule. Evening events in Smithfield have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; after that, the trading area needs lighting from the organiser or the site.
- It starts with your event details and pitch information.
- We send our menu, pitch requirements and the documents you ask traders for.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on our pitch.
- We serve from the hatch through the trading times you set.
- At the close, we clear our pitch.
