Mexican street food near Colt's Hill
About our Mexican street food in Colt's Hill
Crew and volunteer meals are timed to suit you, keeping your team going. Popular choices include tacos, burrito bowls and loaded nachos, and it suits agricultural and county shows and outdoor cinema and theatre nights.
At a field event near Colt's Hill, power and water may be limited; let us know and we’ll confirm the arrangements. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
