We slow-cook fillings ahead and finish them on site, so service stays quick through busy periods. At race days and sports events and community events and open days, we’ll put together a menu of loaded nachos, burrito bowls and quesadillas.
Rural events near Hawkenbury can be a long way from food outlets, so a taco truck is a welcome sight. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.

Diets, allergies and planning
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:

- Ask for allergen information at each stall
- Ask traders about serving speed at peak times
- Plan access routes for trader vehicles
We set up at the agreed time.

How it works
Service is quick and friendly: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our area. Christmas markets in Hawkenbury trade in the dark from about 3:50pm, so site lighting matters for traders and visitors alike. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:15pm.
- It starts with your event details and pitch information.
- We send our menu, pitch requirements and the documents you ask traders for.
- We set up the truck or trailer on the pitch at the agreed time.
- We serve from the hatch through the trading times you set.
- When trading ends, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Share the running order, including any speeches

Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
