- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Popular choices
Loaded nachos
A tray of nachos works as a starter or a late snack; dairy-free versions can be planned.
Tacos from the hatch
Warm tortillas filled to order and finished with salsa, with fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga or spiced mushroom.
What happens on the day
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain doesn’t generally stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered.

Can you run a bar?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will go through the licensing with you.

Is food truck hire right for your event?
A private hire is not the same as a festival stall. At a festival we trade to the public; a private hire means your guests, your menu and your timings. What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so share your ideas with us. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
Why us?
- Set-up planned with you and your venue
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests
- A quote that sets out what’s included
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
