Can I do a taco night myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.

How we price Mexican street food
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Serving staff
- Timings and hours
- Parking and the route in
- Guest numbers
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
What we need to know
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- The date and rough timings
- Any dietary needs and allergies
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. To send your details, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Planning for every diet
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Plan access routes for trader vehicles
- Make sure the line-up includes vegan and gluten-free options
- Ask traders about packaging and waste
- Make allergen information visible at every stall
We serve from the hatch throughout trading hours.

Running an event in Hove
Hove is about 2 miles west of Brighton, in Brighton and Hove. Tell us where your event in Hove will be, and we will plan access and set-up. We cater in all 30 towns and villages across Brighton and Hove, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in.
A market or festival in St. Ann's Well Gardens would be licensed by whoever manages the park, and we’ll provide our part of the paperwork. Thanks to the A270 and A2023, we can bring the truck or trailer to Hove without fuss. Events in and around the South Downs National Park, within about 7 miles of Hove, often have rules about vehicles, ground and waste; we’ll follow the site’s requirements. Seafront festivals and markets, with the coast within about 2 miles of Hove, need the organiser’s permission for traders. Send us the pitch details and we will check access.
Here we cover the BN3, BN1 and BN52 postcode area, so your event can be anywhere in it. Streets in the area include Farm Road, York Road and Aymer Road, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. Main roads around Hove include the A270 and A2023, which makes travel to your event easy. If your venue is just outside Hove, we also cover Brighton and Hove (1 mile north-west), Brunswick (1 mile south-east), Aldrington (1 mile west), Prestonville (1 mile north-east) and West Blatchington (1 mile north). Larger places within reach include Kemptown (3 miles east), Whitehawk (3 miles east), Moulsecoomb (3 miles east), Hollingbury (3 miles north-east), Bevendean (3 miles east) and Saltdean (6 miles east). As one of the bigger places in Brighton and Hove, Hove has lots of places to hold an event, though town-centre access for a truck or trailer needs planning.
A little further out are British Engineerium (0.9 miles north) and Montefiore Hospital (0.7 miles east). Open spaces near Hove include Whitehawk Hill and Thundersbarrow Hill.
- Nearby schools include The Drive Prep School (within half a mile north-east) and Hove Park School (0.7 miles north-west)
- Pubs nearby include The Urchin pub (under half a mile south-west)
How it compares
Hot-cabinet food lacks appeal. Everything we serve is assembled to order. There is no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican street food. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
What you get with us
- A menu built around your guests
- Book food, drinks or both
- Events in Hove and across Brighton and Hove
- Service planned around your numbers

How the day works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, get the serving area ready, and serve without fuss. A December market in Hove loses the light at about 3:55pm, so site lighting matters for traders and visitors alike. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:20pm.
- You send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- We confirm our menu, our pitch needs and the paperwork your event asks for.
- On the day, we arrive in the set-up window and get ready to trade.
- We serve from the hatch through the trading times you set.
- At the close, we clear our pitch.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
