How our Mexican street food works in South Croydon
Organisers can book us as a public stall or to feed crew, volunteers and hospitality areas. It works well for seasonal and night markets and open days and community events, serving vegan tacos, tacos and burrito bowls.
In South Croydon, street events mean planning access, closures and where the truck fits. Send us the pitch size, access route and timings. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space when you contact us. In general, we need:
- Room for the truck or trailer and customers
- Clear information on power, water and waste
- Flat, firm ground
As a London location, South Croydon is inside the ULEZ, and parking and loading take planning: let us know about permits, bays, off-street space or a parking suspension.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
On the menu in South Croydon
- Loaded nachos
- Burritos
- Burrito bowls
- Quesadillas
- Tacos
- Vegan options
For event organisers in South Croydon
If you’re booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.

How the day works
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A picture of the space helps. By late September, it is dark in South Croydon at around 7:05pm, so later trading needs some lighting. Organisers should plan that into the site layout.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- You get our menu and pitch requirements.
- We confirm power, water and access arrangements.
- We plan to be ready for the lunchtime rush.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
How to prepare
- Find out what power and water are available
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
How to get a price
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
