Mexican street food for your event in Benson
For festivals, numbers can be larger than most of our events, so tell us expected visitor numbers and trading hours and we will plan around them. For food markets and festivals, we’ll put together a menu of vegan tacos, tacos and burritos and more.
In Benson, one trader covering most diets keeps it simple. A Mexican street-food truck can do that. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

Is Mexican street food right for your event?
Burger and hot dog stalls are familiar but similar. Tacos add something different. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there is no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.

Take a look at our prices page or the cost guide.
What we need at the venue
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Room for the truck or trailer and customers
- Your trader pack and site rules
- Vehicle access to the pitch for set-up and break-down
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
Catering for every guest
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Check how traders handle peak times
- Make allergen information visible at every stall
- Share power and water details early
- Check every diet is covered by the line-up
We clear the pitch and leave it as we found it.
Aguas frescas and soft drinks at the stall.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
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.
