Mexican street food for your event in Dunbridge
A Mexican food truck pulls a crowd at any outdoor event. People follow the smell of warm tortillas, and orders are served quickly from the hatch. It suits country shows and sports clubs and race days, with quesadillas, burritos and vegan tacos.
For a village fête or field event near Dunbridge, a truck or trailer brings hot food to a rural site. Ground conditions and access matter, so tell us about them. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
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.
Before you choose a spot
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
- Trader information and site rules
- Access for the truck or trailer at set-up

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Whether you need disposables
- The number of people
- The menu you choose
- How many staff you need
Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

The process
Your timings come first. If things run behind, tell us and we’ll adjust the start of service where we can. By late September, it is dark in Dunbridge at around 7:10pm, so an evening programme will run partly after dusk. Tell us how the site will be lit when you send the pitch details.
- You send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- You get our stall menu, what we need at the pitch and the paperwork you request.
- We set up the truck or trailer on the pitch at the agreed time.
- Tacos, burritos and more are served to order while the event is open.
- When trading ends, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
