How our Mexican street food works in Compton
We follow your site rules, including arrival times and waste arrangements. We serve quesadillas, burritos and burrito bowls, which works well for food and music festivals and village fairs.
Rural events near Compton can be a long way from food outlets, so a hot-food truck is a big help. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- The hatch opens when the event does.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
