How our Mexican street food works in Hoaden
One Mexican trader covers several diets: we serve vegan and vegetarian fillings and corn tortillas for gluten-free visitors. That helps organisers balance the line-up. We serve burrito bowls, burritos and quesadillas, and it suits fundraisers and fêtes and sports club events.
For a village fête or field event near Hoaden, a truck or trailer brings hot food to a rural site. Ground conditions and access matter, so tell us about them. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
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. Read our guide to taco bars.
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.

- Clearance from tents and gazebos
- Room for the truck or trailer and customers
- Trader information and site rules
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.
The process
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Summer events in Hoaden have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.

- We send our menu, needs and the documents you ask for.
- We arrive and set up at the agreed time.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
