Can you serve in bad weather?
The truck or trailer serves in the rain, though guests need a covered place to eat.
What about power on site?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we will park.
Planning the serving area
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site
- A spot for a taco-bar serving table
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:

- Send allergy details to us in writing
- Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
On the day, we arrive in good time to park up and get ready. All we need is someone to show us the agreed spot.
