Why choose Mexican street food in Friston?
It handles peak times well, thanks to fillings prepared in advance.
Big or small, a truck or trailer works well. Typical bookings include:
- School and charity events
- Sports clubs and race days
- Open days and community events
- Festivals
For a church fête or fundraiser, at a church such as The Parish Church of St Simon and St Jude, a taco truck adds hot food to the cakes and tombola.
Before booking anyone
- Allergen information for each dish
- The caterer’s food hygiene rating
- The wet-weather plan
- The deadline for final numbers

Your questions about Mexican street food in Friston
Do you cater in the South Downs National Park?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Is Friston close to London?
About 53 miles from central London.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give 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.
How is the food prepared?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Tell us about your space and numbers and we’ll suggest the best set-up.
Can you handle a lunchtime rush?
With fillings ready to go, service is quick.
Can you cater for children?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
What do you need at the venue?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, plus the venue’s permission. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
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 enjoy the party, let us serve.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
