Mexican street food for your event in Horton

At a field event near Horton, power and water may be limited; tell us what’s available and we will plan around it. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
What happens on the day
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive and set up, service opens at the agreed time, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. Christmas markets in Horton trade in the dark from about 3:55pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:25pm.

Should I do it myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Mexican street food or something else?
Some traders struggle with vegan and gluten-free visitors. We can serve vegan fillings and corn tortillas. Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Your quote confirms the full price.
