- Vehicle access to the pitch for set-up and break-down

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.

About our Mexican street food in Folkestone
We slow-cook fillings ahead and finish them on site, so service stays quick through busy periods. It suits sports clubs and race days and country shows, serving tacos, vegan tacos and burritos.
A town like Folkestone has schools, churches, clubs and parks that run events through the year. A taco truck suits all of them. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Common questions in Folkestone
Do you cater in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Is Folkestone close to London?
About 62 miles from central London.
Can you cater for crew and volunteers?
Yes. Crew, volunteer and hospitality catering is available, with or without a public stall.
How spicy is the food?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
What do you need at the venue?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
Do you need water?
Let us know what the pitch has and we will confirm our needs. Power and water are agreed with each booking.
What does Mexican street food cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, 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.
Prices and what affects them
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Parking and the route in
- Staff for serving and the bar
- The length of service
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- How we drive in and where we can park
- What you’d like on the menu
- The date and time of the event
- Expected numbers
Still deciding on the menu? That’s fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we’ll suggest a menu. When you’re ready, send a quick message through our quote form.

- We plan to be ready for the lunchtime rush.
