Mexican street food for Barton on Sea events
Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Mexican street food in Barton on Sea, served fresh
A Mexican food truck pulls a crowd at any outdoor event. The smell of warm tortillas and slow-cooked fillings brings people over, and orders are served quickly from the hatch. On the menu are burrito bowls, loaded nachos and burritos, which works well for county and country shows and food markets.

Your questions about Mexican street food in Barton on Sea
Can you trade at a school fair in Barton on Sea?
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.
Could you come to a seaside event near Barton on Sea?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Seafront and beach spots normally need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.

Do you have vegan options?
We do. Our stall menu includes vegan and gluten-free options, with allergen information for every dish.

How we price Mexican street food
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Travel, parking and access
- How many guests we are serving
- The length of service

- What power and water the site has
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
