New Instruction – Mexican Street Food Takeaway

Blacks Business Brokers are delighted to announce the launch of a new instruction — the sale of Let’s Taco ‘Bout It, a well-established and highly rated catering business offering a unique blend of takeaway and mobile food services. Based in Ripley, Derbyshire, this thriving Mexican street food venture has earned a reputation for its vibrant menu, customer-first approach, and brand that truly stands out in a growing street food market.

Established in 2020 by a passionate owner with a love for Mexican cuisine, Let’s Taco ‘Bout It has carved out a loyal following both in its local community and at events across Derbyshire and surrounding counties. Originally gaining traction through a mobile food unit and a kitchen residency in a Derby cocktail bar, the business opened its first permanent takeaway shop in Ripley in 2023. Since then, the business has seen consistent growth, reporting an annual turnover of £158,246 and a gross profit of £112,880 for the year ending March 2025. With a dedicated team of two full-time and two part-time staff (alongside the owner), the operation is both efficient and well-structured.

From the heart of Ripley, the business serves freshly prepared tacos and Mexican street food to a steady stream of customers every evening between 4:30 PM and 9:30 PM. The takeaway location enjoys a visible spot on a well-trafficked residential road, while the mobile catering van expands reach to weddings, corporate events, festivals, and private parties. This dual format not only provides income diversity but also ensures brand visibility across multiple customer touchpoints.

The premises in Ripley consist of a modern ground-floor retail unit, converted to a high standard and purpose-built for food service, featuring a fully equipped kitchen, a customer-facing service area, and window seating. It operates under a three-year lease beginning August 2023 at a very reasonable annual rent of £8,400. Importantly, a new lease is available for a buyer if desired. The mobile catering van, included in the sale, is a major revenue driver and a key marketing tool that continues to bring in new business through off-site catering contracts.

Let’s Taco ‘Bout It is more than a food outlet — it’s a well-defined brand, underpinned by a strong digital presence. The business has cultivated over 10,000 social media followers, and actively engages with customers via its own ordering platform, capturing a database of over 2,000 customers for email and SMS marketing. With outstanding reviews across every platform — 4.8 on Google, 4.8 on Deliveroo, and a 100% recommendation rate on Facebook — the brand is not only visible but trusted and celebrated.

The opportunity for a new owner is compelling. With a solid infrastructure already in place, there’s room to scale through additional marketing, participation in festivals, and targeting corporate catering clients. Expansion of operating hours and seasonal menu offerings could also drive further growth. What makes this business particularly attractive is its low overhead structure, strong operating profits, and diverse income streams.

The current owner has decided to sell to pursue a change in future plans, and this opens the door for a new buyer to step into a fully operational, revenue-generating business from day one. The sale includes everything required to continue operations without disruption: the fully fitted premises, the mobile catering van with all equipment, branding assets, social media accounts, website, customer data, and all kitchen and serving equipment.

With the asking price set at £79,995, this is an affordable yet high-value opportunity, ideal for a chef or food enthusiast seeking independence, or an investor looking for a business with proven systems, loyal staff, and expansion headroom.
