Mexican street food for Houghton events
Mexican street food in Houghton, from our truck or trailer
Crew catering can be timed to your schedule, keeping your team going. It suits agricultural and county shows and village fairs, serving burritos, burrito bowls and quesadillas.
Near Houghton, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hot-food truck is a big help. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Check every diet is covered by the line-up
- Tell traders about power and water before the day
- Plan seating near the food area
- Ask about peak-time capacity
At the end, we clear the pitch and leave it clean.

Your questions about Mexican street food in Houghton
Will you travel to a small place like Houghton?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Could you bring a taco truck to a school fair in Houghton?
We can, as long as the school agrees and the truck or trailer can reach the pitch. Tell us the date, the site and roughly how many visitors you expect.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, as long as there’s access and a level, firm spot. Send us a picture of the access and the space, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we will talk licensing through with you.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so get in touch early.
Can you serve alcohol at our event?
That depends on licensing. Tell us whether the event has a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, and we’ll go from there.
What about power on site?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.

How it works
We work to your timings. If things run behind, tell us and we’ll adjust the start of service where we can. Christmas markets in Houghton trade in the dark from about 4:00pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:25pm.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- 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.
