Mexican street food in Waltham Forest
Mexican street food for your event in Waltham Forest
A Mexican food truck pulls a crowd at any outdoor event. The smell of warm tortillas and slow-cooked fillings brings people over, and orders come out fast from the hatch. It works well for open-air performances and village fairs, with vegan tacos, burritos and burrito bowls.
In Waltham Forest, community events include street parties, school fairs and markets. Organisers normally need council permission for public spaces and road closures, and we will provide what the organiser asks for from us. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

FAQs for Waltham Forest
Where would you park in Waltham Forest?
It can be tricky, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. A parking suspension may be needed, and the whole of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Is it possible to have you in Linder's Field?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Do you need water?
Send pitch details and we’ll confirm, including power and water.
Will you have a stall at our event?
Tell us about the event, dates and pitch, and we’ll let you know if we’re available.
How much does Mexican street food cost in Waltham Forest?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Send us the details for a quote.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t generally stop service from the truck or trailer. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Do you come to Waltham Forest?
We do. We serve at events in Waltham Forest and across Greater London. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
How it compares
Not every trader covers vegans and coeliacs. Our menu includes vegan and gluten-free options. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican street food. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.
Why book with us
- Tacos, burritos and a drinks bar
- Set-up planned with you and your venue
- Quick, friendly service from the hatch
- Everything served fresh from the hatch

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.

Planning the serving area
Every venue is different, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A pitch big enough for the truck or trailer and a queue
- Trader information and site rules
- A pitch with space around it, away from tents and structures
Waltham Forest is in London, inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, which covers all of Greater London, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays, off-street space or a parking suspension.
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Dietary needs and planning tips
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Plan for vegan and gluten-free visitors
- Feed crew and volunteers at set times
- Plan seating near the food area
- Agree waste arrangements with traders
We keep in touch with your traders’ contact on the day on any changes.
