Mexican street food in Hook, 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 are served quickly from the hatch. At street food and farmers’ markets and school and charity events, we can serve burrito bowls, quesadillas and tacos.
Rural events near Hook can be a long way from food outlets, so a taco truck is a welcome sight. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Other catering in Hook
DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
