Mexican street food in South Woodford, from our food truck or trailer
A Mexican food truck pulls a crowd at any outdoor event. The smell of warm tortillas and slow-cooked fillings brings people over, and orders are served quickly from the hatch. We serve burrito bowls, vegan tacos and tacos, and it suits sports clubs and race days and food and music festivals.
In South Woodford, street events mean planning access, closures and where the truck fits. Send us the pitch size, access route and timings. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

Planning the serving area
If a space isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and help find another spot. The main points are:
- A level pitch on firm ground
- Vehicle access before and after the event
- Details of power, water and waste arrangements
As a London location, South Woodford is inside the ULEZ, and parking and loading take planning: let us know about permits, bays, off-street space or a parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.
