Busy at work at The Canteen, Street Food Chef, Arundel Street, Sheffield

Our story

We’re a family run Mexican street food outlet passionate about providing a healthy fast food alternative to the people of Sheffield. We’re probably best known for our burritos but we also serve tacos and quesadillas as well as gluten and dairy free options.

We began selling our food on Sheffield’s streets and have been massively supported by the local community. We've received five awards from Eat Sheffield, and are proud to have a reader recommendation in the Good Food Guide and a runner up award in the Observer Food Awards.

We believe that fast food can taste great, without any of the added nasties – all our food is freshly prepared every day and we use locally sourced, fresh ingredients wherever possible. We make a point of working with local businesses such as the award winning Our Cow Molly and Moss Valley Fine Meats, as well as #brownies and Yee Kwan.

Our range of fresh chillies and salsas are packed with a punch that Salma Hayek would be proud of and we stock a range of beers, wines, tequila, Mexican soft drinks and a cheeky margarita slush.

Grab your poncho and head to our Sheffield city centre Burrito Escotilla or fully licensed Mexican Canteen and indulge in our lip-smacking menus! Mexican waves are optional.

P.S. It isn’t always easy running a healthy fast food outlet, but what really helps us to believe we are on the right track is the passion, support and input of people who work with us and those who eat with us. Thanks for all your support so far. If you have anything to ask, say or suggest, feel free, we are always happy to listen to our customers.
