Common questions in Ashford
Could you bring a taco truck to a school fair in Ashford?
Yes, with the school’s permission and a pitch the truck or trailer can reach. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
Will you travel to a small place like Ashford?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Is the food made fresh?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Can you feed our volunteers?
Yes, timed to your schedule. Send us numbers and times.
How many guests can you serve?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
How long do you serve for?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
That’s confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.
How our Mexican street food works in Ashford
For festivals, numbers can be larger than most of our events, so share expected numbers and trading hours and we’ll plan around them. It suits music and food festivals and county and country shows, with burrito bowls, loaded nachos and burritos.
Near Ashford, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a taco truck is a welcome sight. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.

How we price Mexican street food
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- The length of service
- Guest numbers
- Whether you need disposables
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican street food. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.
