Mexican street food for California events
Mexican street food in California, from our truck or trailer
We slow-cook fillings ahead and finish them on site, which keeps the queue moving at busy times. It suits street food and farmers’ markets and music and food festivals, with burrito bowls, tacos and loaded nachos.
At a fête or field event near California, we can bring hot food to a rural site. Ground conditions and access matter, so tell us about them. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer.

Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- How many guests we’re serving

- What’s on the menu
- The length of service
What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so share your ideas with us. We will suggest options to suit your budget.

- Roughly how many adults and children
- Any dietary needs and allergies

Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
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. Read our guide to taco bars.
Space, access and the venue
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but a few things matter:
- Details of power, water and waste arrangements
- The event’s site rules and timings
- A level pitch on firm ground
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
For event organisers in California
Hosting a party at home? Send us a photo of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we’ll let you know if it is a good fit.
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.
Your questions about Mexican street food in California
How far is California from central London?
It’s about 35 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can you trade at a school fair in California?
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.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
Can vegans eat at your stall?
Yes, always. Vegan fillings such as spiced mushrooms or black beans are on the menu.
What access do you need?
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 quickly can you serve?
Fillings are cooked ahead and kept hot, so orders are assembled quickly.
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 give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Can you send us your trader documents?
Send us your list.
