About our Mexican street food in Crawley
Our food is easy to eat standing up or on the grass, which suits festival crowds. We serve quesadillas, loaded nachos and vegan tacos, which works well for feeding crew and volunteers and street food and farmers’ markets.
A fête near Crawley might be on a field with no mains power; tell us what’s available and we will plan around it. You will know what’s included before booking: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

Crawley: your questions answered
Will you travel to a small place like Crawley?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Is Crawley close to London?
Roughly 62 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it.
Will you have a stall at our event?
Tell us about your event, and we’ll reply with our availability and what we need.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Do you do a taco bar?
We can. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Read our taco bar guide.
Do you cook on site?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.

How it works
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can spend time with your guests. By late September, it is dark in Crawley at around 7:10pm, so later trading needs some lighting. Organisers should plan that into the site layout.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We confirm our menu, pitch needs and paperwork.
- We arrive and set up at the agreed time.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Find out what power and water are available

Diets, allergies and planning
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Check traders’ packaging and waste plans
- Check how traders handle peak times
- Make allergen information visible at every stall
- Schedule crew meals
On the day, we work with your site team.
Aguas frescas and soft drinks at the stall.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
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, with allergen information for every dish.
Organising for someone else?
Organising a club, school or community event in Crawley? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Give us the details and we will suggest a plan.
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so everyone is served promptly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
Why choose Mexican street food in Crawley?
Crew sandwiches are easy but dull. A hot burrito or taco bowl keeps crew going. Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you can choose what you need.
