Mexican street food near Boughton Monchelsea
How our Mexican street food works in Boughton Monchelsea
We trade at festivals, fairs, markets, school fairs and community events. For open-air performances and crew and volunteer catering, we can serve loaded nachos, quesadillas and burrito bowls for your guests.
A fête near Boughton Monchelsea might be on a field with no mains power; let us know and we will confirm the arrangements. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.
Before you choose a spot
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- Details of power, water and waste arrangements
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding
- Access for the truck or trailer at set-up
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
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.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.

Boughton Monchelsea: your questions answered
Do you come to school fairs around Boughton Monchelsea?
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.
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Can you handle a lunchtime rush?
With fillings ready to go, service is quick.
When do you arrive?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not generally stop service from the truck or trailer. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll go through the licensing with you.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
If you are booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
