How we price Mexican street food
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- How long we are needed on site
- Your choice of food and drinks
- How many guests we’re serving
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Your menu ideas
- A picture of where we’d park
- Roughly how many adults and children
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and you will get menu ideas and a price. Just send us your details through our quote form.

We can trade to the public or cook for crew, volunteers and hospitality areas. At school fairs and fundraisers and village fairs, we’ll put together a menu of burritos, burrito bowls and quesadillas for your guests.
Events near Carlton Hill are often volunteer-run, so we agree pitch, access and power with the organiser in advance. Your quote sets out what’s included: menu, timings and any add-ons.

Organising for someone else?
Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Should I do it myself?
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.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Comparing your options
A single pizza or burger stall can’t cover every visitor. Our menu gives visitors choice. Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.
What you get with us
- Menus for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests
- Tacos, burritos and a drinks bar
- Set-up planned with you and your venue
- Fast service, even with a queue

FAQs for Carlton Hill
Do you cater in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Could you serve in Queen's Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
Can you keep it mild?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Can you cater for crew and volunteers?
Yes, timed to your schedule. Send us numbers and times.
Do you cater in Carlton Hill?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Carlton Hill and the rest of Brighton and Hove. To check your date, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Can you send us your trader documents?
Share your trader requirements.
How much space do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Can you serve in the rain?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
The process
On the day, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. We’re ready to serve at the agreed time, planned around your event. At midsummer, events in Carlton Hill stay light until about 9:15pm, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- You get our menu and pitch requirements.
- Power, water and access are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we’re ready before the busiest hours.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
Preparing for the day
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready

What we need at the venue
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Pitch space for the vehicle and a queue
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding
- A pitch with space around it, away from tents and structures
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
