Mexican street food near Cheriton
Where the truck can go in Cheriton
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but there are a few things to check:

- Pitch space for the vehicle and a queue
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
About our Mexican street food in Cheriton
The menu is agreed with organisers, with fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, plus a vegan option such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. It works well for race days and sports events and food markets, serving tacos, burritos and quesadillas.
In Cheriton, one trader covering most diets keeps it simple. A Mexican street-food truck can do that. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.
Other catering in Cheriton
DIY taco night or a caterer?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.

We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades typically need the council’s agreement, so check that first.

Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
