Mexican street food for your event in Horton

Near Horton, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hot-food truck is a big help. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Fairs, fêtes and events in Horton
Horton is about 1 mile north-west of Epsom, in Surrey. We bring Mexican street food to homes, gardens and venues in Horton and the surrounding area. Horton is one of 395 towns and villages in Surrey where we can bring Mexican street food. You can also see our page for Croydon, about 9 miles away.
A school such as St Mary's CofE (Aided) Primary School running a summer fair could book a taco truck. Organisers of a summer fête for a church such as Church of St Mary the Virgin could add tacos and burritos alongside the bric-a-brac. Events in and around the Surrey Hills National Landscape, within about 7 miles of Horton, often have rules about vehicles, ground and waste; we will follow the site’s requirements.

A truck or trailer works for big and small events alike. Typical bookings include:

- Community events and open days

A market or festival in Horton Country Park would be licensed by whoever manages the park, and we’ll provide our part of the paperwork.

Should I do it myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. 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.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Horton questions
Is Horton close to London?
It is about 13 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Which station is closest to Horton?
Guests can use Chessington South station, about 0.9 miles north-west of Horton.
What access do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
What do you serve?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
How spicy is the food?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
What about power on site?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will check the licensing with you.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
