Fillings might include carnitas, al pastor-style pork or chicken tinga, alongside a vegan option such as spiced mushroom.

On the menu are tacos from the hatch, loaded nachos and burrito bowls, and it suits engagement parties and client events and product launches.
In a hamlet or village like Millbank, our food truck or trailer can serve a private party or a team day in a field or garden. Guests queue at the hatch, so have some cover ready in case of rain. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
Dietary needs and planning tips
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Agree service times with us
- Check gate widths and any height limits
- Have shelter ready in case of rain
- Put anyone with a severe allergy in touch with us
We arrive in the agreed window and park where we’ve arranged. Someone on site to meet us makes it smoother.
Loaded nachos to share while the first orders cook are a good way to begin.
