Mexican street food in Deadwater
Before you choose a spot
If a space isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and help find another spot. What matters most:
- Room for the truck or trailer and customers
- A level pitch on firm ground
- A pitch with space around it, away from tents and structures
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
How our Mexican street food works in Deadwater
Organisers can book us as a public stall or to feed crew, volunteers and hospitality areas. Popular choices include vegan tacos, burrito bowls and quesadillas, and it suits seasonal and night markets and school and charity events.
Summer fairs around Deadwater are often run by volunteers, so it helps to agree the pitch, power and water early. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

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.

Serving is quick: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. Afterwards we clear our area. Summer events in Deadwater have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
