How our Mexican street food works in Hammerwood
A Mexican food truck pulls a crowd at any outdoor event. People follow the smell of warm tortillas, and orders are served quickly from the hatch. At summer fairs and fêtes and race days and sports events, we will put together a menu of quesadillas, burrito bowls and tacos.
A fête near Hammerwood might be on a field with no mains power; let us know and we’ll confirm the arrangements. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.

Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
