Mexican street food near Turnpike Lane
How our Mexican street food works in Turnpike Lane
A taco stall covers many diets at once: there are vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, with corn tortillas. That helps organisers balance the line-up. For summer fairs and fêtes and sports club events, we’ll put together a menu of tacos, burrito bowls and loaded nachos for your guests.
In Turnpike Lane, a taco truck suits street parties and school fairs, once the road closure or site permission is in place. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our truck or trailer.

Where the truck can go in Turnpike Lane
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- A pitch with space around it, away from tents and structures
- Room for the truck or trailer and customers
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding
In Turnpike Lane, 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 will advise before booking.

Sharing nachos go down well.
Is Mexican street food right for your event?
For crew catering, sandwiches are easy but uninspiring. A hot burrito or taco bowl keeps crew going. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we’ll set out what’s included.
