Mexican street food for your event in Blean
We slow-cook fillings ahead and finish them on site, which keeps the queue moving at busy times. At sports club events and music and food festivals, we will put together a menu of burritos, loaded nachos and tacos.
Near Blean, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hot-food truck is a big help. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.
Working with your venue
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so everyone is served promptly. Let us know how long the break is.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Is Mexican street food right for your event?
A single pizza or burger stall cannot cover every visitor. Tacos, burritos, bowls and nachos give choice from one pitch. Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
What you get with us
- Menus for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests
- Tacos, burritos and a drinks bar
- Allergen-aware menus
- Served fresh from our truck or trailer
FAQs for Blean
Do you come out to small places like Blean?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Is Blean close to London?
It is about 51 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can you serve in the rain?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
Do you cook on site?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
What access do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll plan the menu around them.
What food and drinks do you offer?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Catering for every guest
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Send traders one clear trader pack
- Put picnic tables near the traders
- Share power and water details early
- Ensure the line-up includes vegan and gluten-free options
We keep in touch with your traders’ contact on the day.
Margaritas and Mexican beer, subject to the event’s licence.
