Mexican street food in Denton, from our food truck or trailer
A taco stall covers many diets at once: there are vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, with corn tortillas. That makes your food line-up easier. For summer fairs and fêtes and school and charity events, we can serve quesadillas, loaded nachos and vegan tacos.
Near Denton, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hot-food truck is a big help. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
Step by step
Your timings come first. If things run behind, let us know and we will adjust where we can. Summer events in Denton have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- You get our menu and pitch requirements.
- We confirm power, water and access arrangements.
- We plan to be ready for the lunchtime rush.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time

Common questions in Denton
Is Denton close to London?
About 59 miles from central London.
Do you come to events in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
How big an event can you cater?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
Is the food made fresh?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
How spicy is the food?
That’s your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll check the licensing with you.
Who clears up?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will talk it through.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. 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 will do the serving.
