Market Place Vauxhall is offering Londoners the chance to win an incredible prize of free tacos and margaritas for an entire year, as part of a spectacular Mexican fiesta celebrating the arrival of street food sensation Streat Latin.
Taking place on 9th November, the UK’s first official tortilla slap championship will see one fortunate winner walk away with 52 weeks of free tacos from Streat Latin and weekly margaritas courtesy of Market Place – while all spectators can enjoy free tacos and margaritas during the event.
“From luchadores to mariachi bands, Latin American culture is all about being playful and having fun. Hosting the UK’s first-ever tortilla slap tournament showcases everything we and our food are all about; bringing people together, creating unforgettable moments, and serving up authentic Latin flavours with a side of entertainment. What better way to introduce ourselves to Vauxhall than with London’s most outrageous food fight?”
Andres De La Mora, founder of Streat Latin
The grand prize will be awarded to the winner of Market Place’s unique tortilla-slapping championship, where 32 competitors will face off in a hilarious contest inspired by the viral TikTok trend. Popular Instagram foodie Fat Boi London will host the hour-long competition, which features a professional scoring system based on technique and entertainment value.
The celebration goes far beyond just free food and drinks. Market Place and Streat Latin have curated an authentic Mexican cultural experience, featuring spectacular Lucha Libre wrestling performances and a vibrant mariachi band playing both traditional and modern Mexican hits.

“This event perfectly encapsulates Market Place’s commitment to pushing culinary boundaries while creating unforgettable experiences and highlighting different cuisines from around the world. This isn’t just about watching people slap each other with tortillas – though that’s obviously brilliant. We’re creating a full-on Mexican fiesta to welcome Streat Latin to Market Place. Think wrestling, mariachi, free tacos, and probably the most ridiculous competition London’s ever seen.”
