Mexican street food in Ashford, from our truck or trailer
A taco stall covers many diets at once: there are vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, with corn tortillas. That makes your food line-up easier. It works well for food markets and open-air performances, with quesadillas, burrito bowls and loaded nachos.
In Ashford, a taco truck adds colour and covers several diets. Tell us the pitch, access and power arrangements. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Make allergen information visible at every stall
- Tell traders about power and water before the day
- Send traders one clear trader pack
- Agree waste arrangements with traders
Our pitch is kept tidy throughout the day.

Mexican street food or something else?
A single pizza or burger stall cannot cover every visitor. Tacos, burritos, bowls and nachos give choice from one pitch. Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so tell us what you have in mind. We will suggest options to suit your budget.

Ashford events: pitches and permissions
Ashford is in Kent. Tell us where your event in Ashford will be, and we will plan access and set-up. We cater in 922 places in Kent, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. We cater right across the region, from Ashford to Canterbury (13 miles away).
If you are organising a summer fair or fundraiser for a school such as Chilmington Green Primary School, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser. Running a fête for a church like Christ Church? A Mexican street-food truck draws people in. Shows and fairs in the Kent Downs National Landscape, about 5 miles from Ashford at most, sometimes have rules on where traders can drive. Send us the site plan and we will plan around it.
For Mexican street food in TN23, TN24, TN25 and TN26, we plan around your venue and the route in. Streets in the area include Market Lane, Church Road and Station Road, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. Ashford sits on or near the A20 and A28, so getting the truck or trailer to your event is simple. If your venue is just outside Ashford, we also cover Stanhope (1 mile south-west), Newtown (1 mile south-east), South Willesborough (1 mile south-east), Godinton (1 mile north-west) and Willesborough (1 mile east). Within a short drive, we also cover Canterbury (13 miles north-east), Sittingbourne (15 miles north), Folkestone (14 miles east), Faversham (12 miles north), Hythe (10 miles south-east) and Davington (12 miles north). Being one of Kent’s larger places, Ashford has plenty of venues and spaces for events, though town-centre access for a truck or trailer needs planning.
Other landmarks nearby include William Harvey Hospital (2.1 miles east) and Ashford Designer Outlet (0.6 miles south-east). Not far away are Hatch Park.
- Nearby schools include Ashford School (0.8 miles north-east)
- Nearby, you will find The Locomotive pub (under half a mile east)

FAQs for Ashford
Is it possible to have you in Ashford Green Corridors?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
Can you trade at a school fair in Ashford?
We can, as long as the school agrees and the truck or trailer can reach the pitch. Tell us the date, the site and roughly how many visitors you expect.
What if the weather’s bad?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms.
What does Mexican street food cost?
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we’ll reply with a quote.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Truck and trailer service usually suits 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.

We do. We serve at events in Ashford and across Kent. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
