Should I do it myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.

Food truck hire for your event in Palm Bay
Our drinks bar can be hired with the truck for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. We can add a taco-bar station next to the truck. On the menu are loaded nachos, tacos from the hatch and burrito bowls, which works well for private parties in fields and grounds and leaving parties.
In a rural place like Palm Bay, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: the gate, the ground and the distance from the lane. We confirm power and water arrangements with you. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
Palm Bay: your questions answered
Do you cater at coastal events near Palm Bay?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.
Do you cater in villages like Palm Bay?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
When do you arrive?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
What about vegan and gluten-free guests?
We plan vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food.
Are plates and napkins included?
That’s confirmed with each quote. Let us know what the venue supplies.

About the menu
Burritos
Burritos suit hungry guests.
Quesadillas
A quesadilla suits cautious eaters.
How it compares
Hog roasts are popular with meat eaters, but tacos and bowls make vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to feed. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
