Mexican street food in Deal, from our truck or trailer
We can trade to the public or cook for crew, volunteers and hospitality areas. At festivals and community events and open days, we’ll put together a menu of quesadillas, burrito bowls and loaded nachos.
School fairs, fêtes and summer events in Deal suit a taco truck: it is quick to serve and easy to find. Your quote sets out what’s included: menu, timings and any add-ons.
What we need at the venue
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- Vehicle access to the pitch for set-up and break-down
- Your trader pack and site rules
- A pitch big enough for the truck or trailer and a queue

Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Can I do a taco night myself?
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.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
What Mexican street food costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Timings and hours
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Your choice of food and drinks
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.

The process
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your event. By late September, it’s dark in Deal at around 7:00pm, so an evening programme will run partly after dusk. Organisers should plan that into the site layout.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- We reply with our stall menu and what we need on site.
- Power, water and access are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we are ready before the busiest hours.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
Getting a price
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, tell us about it on our contact page.
