Mexican street food in Dibden
Mexican street food for your event in Dibden
Festivals can be bigger than our usual 50 to 400 guests, so share expected numbers and trading hours and we will plan around them. We serve quesadillas, loaded nachos and burritos, and it suits open-air performances and crew and volunteer catering.
Events near Dibden are often volunteer-run, so we agree pitch, access and power with the organiser in advance. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer.
Common questions in Dibden
Do you cater in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Could you bring a taco truck to a school fair in Dibden?
We can, as long as the school agrees and the truck or trailer can reach the pitch. Tell us the date, the site and roughly how many visitors you expect.
Can you handle a lunchtime rush?
With fillings ready to go, service is quick.
What paperwork do you provide?
Send us your list and we will respond.
Do you come to Dibden?
We do. We serve at events in Dibden and across Hampshire. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
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 long do you serve for?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
Can you cater in a back garden?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a picture and we’ll talk it through.

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 be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Comparing your options
If you want a trader that adds atmosphere, tacos and burritos deliver. What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so share your ideas with us. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

These are the factors that matter most:
- What the venue already provides
- What’s on the menu
