Mexican street food for your event in Barcombe
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 community events and open days and sports clubs and race days, we’ll put together a menu of loaded nachos, quesadillas and tacos.
Near Barcombe, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a taco truck is a welcome sight. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.

Questions from Barcombe
How far is Barcombe from London?
It is about 41 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you cater in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire.
Can you bring margaritas?
That depends on licensing. Let us know how alcohol is licensed at your event, and we will go from there.
What do you need at the venue?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, plus the venue’s permission. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
How much is a food truck for an event?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Contact us for a quote.
What do you serve?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes. Our stall menu includes vegan and gluten-free options, with allergen information for every dish.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
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.
Mexican street food or something else?
Food that sits in a hot cabinet is not much to look at. Our food is made to order. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
