Mexican street food for Abbotswood events
Mexican street food in Abbotswood, from our truck or trailer
Crew and volunteer meals are timed to suit you, keeping your team going. For fundraisers and fêtes and food markets, we can serve loaded nachos, burrito bowls and quesadillas for your guests.
Events near Abbotswood are often volunteer-run, so we agree pitch, access and power with the organiser in advance. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
Can I do a taco night myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.

How it works
When service finishes, we pack up and leave our area tidy. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. A December market in Abbotswood loses the light at about 3:55pm, so site lighting matters for traders and visitors alike. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:20pm.

- We confirm our menu, pitch needs and paperwork.

Yes. Crew, volunteer and hospitality catering is available, with or without a public stall.
What do you need at the pitch?
Send pitch details and we will confirm.
Do you take everything away?

Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll go through the licensing with you.
How much space do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. Send us a photo and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
