How our Mexican street food works in Summerstown
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance and kept hot on site, which keeps the queue moving at busy times. It works well for open days and community events and race days and sports events, serving vegan tacos, quesadillas and burritos.
In Summerstown, community events include street parties, school fairs and markets. Public spaces and road closures generally need council permission, and we will send whatever the organiser needs from us. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.

Your questions about Mexican street food in Summerstown
Is it possible to have you in King George's Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
What about parking in Summerstown?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. Some streets may need a parking suspension from the council, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas 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.
Can you serve in the rain?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
How long do you serve for?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
How much is a food truck for an event?
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you want. Tell us your date and numbers and we’ll reply with a quote.

Prices and what affects them
We quote for your event, which reflects:
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Parking and the route in
- How many guests we’re serving
What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so share your ideas with us. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
What we need to know
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- The address or venue name
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
Comparing your options
Crew sandwiches are easy but dull. A hot burrito or taco bowl keeps crew going. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Can I do a taco night myself?
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Where the truck can go in Summerstown
We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Your trader pack and site rules
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding
- A pitch with space around it, away from tents and structures
In Summerstown, 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.
