Mexican street food makes mixed diets simple.

For leaving parties and fairs and festivals, we’ll put together a menu of tacos, quesadillas and burrito bowls and more.
For a place the size of Sandy Cross, your own garden or drive is often the best venue: no venue to hire and no cooking for you. Tell us about access down the lane or drive. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Tell us what other food is being served
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
We arrive early enough to set up calmly. All we need is someone to show us the agreed spot.
A tray of loaded nachos works well to start.
What affects the price in Sandy Cross
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Distance and access to the venue
- How long we’re needed on site
- What the venue already provides
- What’s on the menu
There is no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican catering. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.

What happens on the day
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, get the serving area ready, and serve without fuss. In Sandy Cross, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- Start by telling us about your event.
- We suggest fillings and extras and send a quote.
- Access, the serving spot, power and water are agreed in advance.
- We arrive, set up and serve from the hatch.
- We pack down after service and leave the area tidy.
How to prepare
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Sandy Cross questions
How far is Sandy Cross from central London?
About 40 miles from central London, and we cover it.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Richards Church?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
How much is a food truck for an event?
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you want. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.

Yes, we do. We serve at events in Sandy Cross and across East Sussex. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, including Sandy Cross.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, 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.
Do you need power and water?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
How does your Mexican catering work?
We bring our food truck or trailer to your venue, cook to order and serve tacos, burritos and more from the hatch. You can also have a build-your-own taco bar.
