Diets, allergies and planning
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Put anyone with a severe allergy in touch with us
- Confirm allergies with us in writing
- Share your running order
- Walk the access route and note narrow gaps
Wet weather does not close the hatch, but guests will want a covered area to eat.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can join the truck, with licensing checked with you.
