Mexican street food in Aldrington, served fresh
Few stalls draw a queue like a Mexican food truck. People follow the smell of warm tortillas, and orders come out fast from the hatch. We serve burrito bowls, tacos and loaded nachos, which works well for food markets and country shows.
In Aldrington, one trader covering most diets keeps it simple. A Mexican street-food truck can do that. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

Questions from Aldrington
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Hove Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
Do you cater at coastal events near Aldrington?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades typically need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Do you do crew catering?
We can. We can cook for crew, volunteers or a hospitality area as well as, or instead of, a public stall.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Our truck and trailer service usually suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we will advise.
Is the food made fresh?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
How spicy is the food?
That’s your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t usually stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Are plates and napkins included?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies.
