About our Mexican street food in Charlwood
Festivals, fairs, markets and school fairs are all on our list. Popular choices include burritos, loaded nachos and tacos, and it suits community events and open days and food and music festivals.
Near Charlwood, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hot-food truck is a big help. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
How it works
Service is quick and friendly: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. Afterwards we clear our area. Christmas markets in Charlwood trade in the dark from about 3:55pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:20pm.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- You get our menu and pitch requirements.
- We confirm power, water and access arrangements.
- On the day, we are ready before the busiest hours.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
Before we arrive
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Let us know the timings for the day

Planning help
Should I do it myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
What affects the price in Charlwood
We quote for your event, which reflects:
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Parking and the route in
- How many staff you need
- Whether you need disposables
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- The date and rough timings
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The venue or postcode
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. Contact us for a quote: just send us your details through our quote form.

Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Let us know your numbers and space and we’ll suggest the best set-up.

Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
