How we price Mexican street food
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether you need disposables
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Timings and hours
- What’s on the menu
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.

Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- The address or venue name
- A picture of where we’d park
- The date and time of the event
- Expected numbers
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and you will get menu ideas and a price. To get started, tell us about it on our contact page.
About our Mexican street food in Highbrook
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. It suits crew and volunteer catering and music and food festivals, with vegan tacos, burrito bowls and loaded nachos.
For a village fête or field event near Highbrook, we can bring hot food to a rural site. Ground conditions and access matter, so tell us about them. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Other catering in Highbrook
DIY taco night or a caterer?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Highbrook questions
Do you come out to small places like Highbrook?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Do you come to events in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Tell us about your space and numbers and we will suggest the best set-up.

Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can explain how we prepare their food.

It depends on the event’s licence. Tell us whether the event has a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
Do you need water?
We’ll confirm our needs once we know the pitch details.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
