Quesadillas
Quesadillas are a simple choice for children.
Burrito bowls
Everything from a burrito, served in a bowl.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.

How far is East Preston from London?
Roughly 50 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it.
How long are you on site?

What access do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a photo and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Is the truck suitable for a large group?
That depends on your timings and the event. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests, so tell us your numbers.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
