Mexican street food in St James's, from our truck or trailer
We work to your trader pack and site rules, including arrival times and waste arrangements. It works well for school and charity events and seasonal and night markets, with vegan tacos, burritos and burrito bowls.
In St James's, community events include street parties, school fairs and markets. Organisers usually need council permission for public spaces and road closures, and we’ll provide what the organiser asks for from us.

St James's questions
Where would you park in St James's?
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.
Which station should guests use for St James's?
Guests can use London Charing Cross station, which is right in St James's.
Do you need electricity?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we will park.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
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.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll talk it through.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes. Our stall menu includes vegan and gluten-free options.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll go through the licensing with you.
How is the food prepared?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
What Mexican street food costs
Contact us for a quote, and the price is based on:
- Whether you need disposables
- Guest numbers
- Distance and access to the venue
- The length of service
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Your date and when you want service to start
- The address or venue name
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, plus any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. To get started, send a quick message through our quote form.
What we need at the venue
Every venue is different, so we’ll ask about yours when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- Clearance from tents and gazebos
- Access for the truck or trailer at set-up
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding
In St James's, 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.

Step by step
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A picture of the space helps. A December market in St James's loses the light at about 3:55pm, so site lighting matters for traders and visitors alike. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:20pm.
- You send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- You get our stall menu, what we need at the pitch and the paperwork you request.
- On the day, we arrive in the set-up window and get ready to trade.
- We cook to order and serve through the agreed trading hours.
- We pack away and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
