About our Mexican street food in St Johns
One Mexican trader covers several diets: we serve vegan and vegetarian fillings and corn tortillas for gluten-free visitors. That helps organisers balance the line-up. It works well for community events and open days and festivals, serving tacos, vegan tacos and burritos.
In St Johns, community events include street parties, school fairs and markets. Public spaces and road closures typically need council permission, and we’ll send whatever the organiser needs from us. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.

How the day works
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. Send us a picture of the space if you’re unsure. A December market in St Johns loses the light at about 3:55pm, so site lighting matters for traders and visitors alike. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:20pm.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We confirm our menu, pitch needs and paperwork.
- We arrive and set up at the agreed time.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.

- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- What’s on the menu
- How many staff you need
- What the venue already provides
Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can feel generous.
What we need to know
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Where the event is
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- A picture of the space, if it is a garden or field
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
To get a price, just send us your details through our quote form. Tell us about your event in St Johns, and we will suggest a menu to suit.
What we need at the venue
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- Pitch space for the vehicle and a queue
- Flat, firm ground
- Vehicle access to the pitch for set-up and break-down
In St Johns, 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.
