Mexican street food for your event in Ash
Tacos, burritos and bowls are easy to eat on the move, which suits festival crowds. For sports club events and school fairs and fundraisers, we can serve burritos, vegan tacos and loaded nachos.
Summer fairs around Ash are often run by volunteers, so we agree pitch, access and power with the organiser in advance. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.
Where the truck can go in Ash
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but there are a few things to check:
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
- Vehicle access before and after the event
- Room for the truck or trailer and customers
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
Should I do it myself?
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.

Step by step
Serving is quick: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our area. Summer events in Ash have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
- You get our stall menu, what we need at the pitch and the paperwork you request.
- On the day, we arrive in the set-up window and get ready to trade.
- Tacos, burritos and more are served to order while the event is open.
- At the close, we clear our pitch.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
