Mexican street food for Henley-on-Thames events
Mexican street food in Henley-on-Thames, from our food truck or trailer
Few stalls draw a queue like a Mexican food truck. People follow the smell of warm tortillas, and orders come out fast from the hatch. It works well for school fairs and fundraisers and music and food festivals, serving loaded nachos, vegan tacos and burritos.
Summer fairs around Henley-on-Thames are often run by volunteers, so it helps to agree the pitch, power and water early. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.
