About our Mexican street food in Arborfield Garrison
Few stalls draw a queue like a Mexican food truck. The smell of warm tortillas and slow-cooked fillings brings people over, and orders come out fast from the hatch. For food and music festivals and agricultural and county shows, we can serve loaded nachos, burrito bowls and vegan tacos.
Events near Arborfield Garrison are often volunteer-run, so we agree pitch, access and power with the organiser in advance. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

Tortilla chips with cheese, salsa and toppings.

Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.

Common questions in Arborfield Garrison
Is Arborfield Garrison close to London?
It is about 36 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Could you serve in Shepperlands Farm Nature Reserve?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
Can you feed our volunteers?
Yes. Crew, volunteer and hospitality catering is available, with or without a public stall.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes. Dairy-free options are part of our menus.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Our truck and trailer service generally suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Tell us your numbers.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Planning the serving area
We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- A level pitch on firm ground
- A pitch big enough for the truck or trailer and a queue
- A pitch with space around it, away from tents and structures
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
