About our Mexican street food in Upton
A taco stall covers many diets at once: we serve vegan and vegetarian fillings and corn tortillas for gluten-free visitors. That helps organisers balance the line-up. It works well for school and charity events and open days and community events, serving burritos, quesadillas and tacos.
Street parties and school fairs in Upton can be a great fit for a taco truck, once permissions are sorted. Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included, with allergen information for everything we serve.

How we price Mexican street food
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The length of service
- How many staff you need
- What’s on the menu
- Distance and access to the venue
Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we will set out what’s included.
What to tell us
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Your menu ideas
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Expected numbers
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you need. For a quote, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
The process
When service finishes, we pack up and leave our area tidy. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. Summer events in Upton have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- It starts with your event details and pitch information.
- We send our menu, pitch requirements and the documents you ask traders for.
- We set up the truck or trailer on the pitch at the agreed time.
- We serve from the hatch through the trading times you set.
- When trading ends, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Share the running order, including any speeches
How to get a price
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.

A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.

Common questions in Upton
Where would you park in Upton?
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.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to West Ham Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
Do you need power and water?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Can you bring margaritas?
That depends on licensing. Tell us whether the event has a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
Do you have dairy-free options?
We can. Dairy-free options are part of our menus.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. For alcohol, we’ll check the licensing with you and your venue.
Can you serve in the rain?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Planning for every diet
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Share vehicle access times with traders
- Plan seating near the food area
- Ask traders about serving speed at peak times
- Ask traders about packaging and waste
We arrive in the agreed set-up window.
