Mexican street food in Garlinge, served fresh
A Mexican food truck pulls a crowd at any outdoor event. The smell of warm tortillas and slow-cooked fillings brings people over, and orders are served quickly from the hatch. For festivals and race days and sports events, we can serve vegan tacos, tacos and burritos.
Summer fairs around Garlinge are often run by volunteers, so we agree pitch, access and power with the organiser in advance. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
For event organisers in Garlinge
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can check the date.

Christmas markets in Garlinge trade in the dark from about 3:50pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:15pm.

Garlinge events: pitches and permissions
Garlinge is about 1 mile west of Margate, in Kent. From the centre of Garlinge to the outskirts, Mexican street food works the same way: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. Garlinge is one of 922 places in Kent where we can bring Mexican street food. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Garlinge to Canterbury (about 14 miles away).
For a church fête or fundraiser, at a church such as St James, a taco truck adds hot food to the cakes and tombola. PTA volunteers planning an event for a school like Garlinge Primary School and Nursery might like a trader who brings everything and serves quickly. Within about 2 miles of the sea, coastal events bring wind and sand into the plan. A firm, sheltered pitch suits a truck or trailer best.
Wherever your event is in CT9 and CT8, we can bring Mexican street food to you. From High Street, Bridge Road and Caxton Road or a nearby road, we can bring Mexican street food there, given access. We also serve at events in Westbrook (1 mile north-east), Westgate-on-Sea (1 mile west), Flete (1 mile south-east), Margate (1 mile east) and Westwood (2 miles south-east). Larger places within reach include Canterbury (14 miles south-west), Ramsgate (4 miles south-east), Broadstairs (3 miles east), Whitstable (14 miles west), Deal (11 miles south) and Herne Bay (10 miles west).
Other landmarks nearby include Margate Old Town Local History Museum (1.3 miles north-east) and Margate West (0.5 miles north-west). Green spaces nearby include Sandwich and Pegwell Bay.
- Schools near Garlinge include Hartsdown Academy (0.5 miles east)
Questions from Garlinge
Is Garlinge close to London?
About 63 miles from central London.
Do you cater at coastal events near Garlinge?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades usually need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we do. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. We will check the licensing for alcohol with you.
How is the food prepared?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
How long are you on site?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
Where do you cater?
We cover London and the South East, including Kent. See all areas.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Let us know your numbers and space and we’ll recommend how to serve.
Can I do a taco night myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
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.
Planning the serving area
We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Vehicle access before and after the event
- Flat, firm ground
- Trader information and site rules
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
Catering for every guest
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Schedule crew meals
- Agree when vehicles can move on site
- Provide seating near the food
- Check every diet is covered by the line-up
Orders are served throughout the event, made to order.
Margaritas and Mexican beer, subject to the event’s licence.
- Served from our truck or trailer at your venue, garden or event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information
- Tacos and taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas
- Mexican drinks bar: margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas
