How we price Mexican street food
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- How many staff you need
- The length of service
- Your choice of food and drinks
- What the venue already provides
The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- A picture of the space, if it is a garden or field
- Where the event is
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We’ll send you a clear quote and a suggested menu.
Organising for someone else?
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so guests are looked after quickly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Comparing your options
One-dish stalls leave some visitors out. Our menu gives visitors choice. Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Your quote confirms the full price.
