Free vegan nachos

The always-popular Club Mexicana has come on board as part of International Vegan Junk Food Day 2015 celebrations.

This mobile vegan food vendor has been winning hearts and tastebuds over the past few years and they show no sign of slowing down. They are impressing people with tacos, nachos and burritos that are all 100% vegan.

One place where they are certainly going down a storm is the Street Feast event at Model Market in Lewisham. Their super cute stall is a hotspot for tasty comfort food lovers.
