Mexican street food for your event in Chale
One Mexican trader covers several diets: we serve vegan and vegetarian fillings and corn tortillas for gluten-free visitors. That makes your food line-up easier. We serve burritos, loaded nachos and quesadillas, and it suits agricultural and county shows and sports club events.
Rural events near Chale can be a long way from food outlets, so a taco truck is a welcome sight. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Common questions in Chale
Could you come to a seaside event near Chale?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Seafront and beach spots typically need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
Will you travel to a small place like Chale?
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.
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.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
That is confirmed with each quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we will talk it through.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Do you do crew catering?
Yes, at set times to suit your schedule. Tell us numbers and timings.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms.
What’s on the menu?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
What we need at the venue
Every venue is different, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Clear information on power, water and waste
- Clearance from tents and gazebos
- Flat, firm ground
For somewhere as remote as Chale, early notice helps us plan the trip, the route in and power.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
Working with your venue

If you’re booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

The process
Serving is quick: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our area. Summer events in Chale have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- We reply with our stall menu and what we need on site.
- Power, water and access are agreed in advance.
- We plan to be ready for the lunchtime rush.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Give us your final numbers and diets
Getting a price
The quickest way to a quote is to tell us about it on our contact page. Give us the details of your event, and we will put together a menu and price.

At the end, we clear the pitch and leave it clean.
