Mexican street food in Elmstone, served fresh
We agree a stall menu with you, perhaps chicken tinga, carnitas or birria, plus a vegan option such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. For outdoor screenings and food and music festivals, we can serve tacos, quesadillas and vegan tacos and more.
Near Elmstone, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a taco truck is a welcome sight. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

Should I do it myself?
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’ll do the serving.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
What we need at the venue
We will be honest if a space will not work, and help find another spot. What matters most:
- A pitch big enough for the truck or trailer and a queue
- The event’s site rules and timings
- Access for the truck or trailer at set-up
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
Catering for every guest
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Send traders one clear trader pack
- Agree waste arrangements with traders
- Feed crew and volunteers at set times
- Share vehicle access times with traders
Orders are served throughout the event, made to order.
Alcohol-free aguas frescas.
