About our Mexican street food in East Shalford
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance and kept hot on site, so service stays quick through busy periods. For outdoor screenings and festivals, we will put together a menu of tacos, burrito bowls and vegan tacos.
At a fête or field event near East Shalford, we can bring 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 the service around your numbers.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
