Questions from Southgate
Where would you park in Southgate?
That depends on the street. A drive, a courtyard or a bay suspended by the council can all work, so tell us what’s outside your venue. The ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
Is it possible to have you in Grovelands Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
Can vegans eat at your stall?
Yes. There are vegan tacos and corn tortillas for gluten-free visitors, with allergen information for every dish.
How long do you serve for?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
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 clear up afterwards?
We clear our own area when service is finished. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
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 plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Is Mexican street food right for your event?
For crew catering, sandwiches are easy but uninspiring. A hot meal keeps crew happy. Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you choose what goes in.

In Southgate, 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.

What else we do in Southgate
What happens on the day
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain does not generally stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. At midsummer, events in Southgate stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- We reply with our stall menu and what we need on site.
- Power, water and access are agreed in advance.
- We plan to be ready for the lunchtime rush.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
Before we arrive

DIY taco night or a caterer?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Parking and the route in
- Whether you need disposables
- How many staff you need
- Your choice of food and drinks
Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- A picture of where we’d park
- Where the event is
It is easy to get a price: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We will send you a clear quote.
- Served from our truck or trailer at your venue, garden or event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information
- Tacos and taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas
