Mexican street food in Hythe
About our Mexican street food in Hythe
The menu is agreed with organisers, with fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, plus a vegan option such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. For feeding crew and volunteers and music and food festivals, we’ll put together a menu of burrito bowls, burritos and loaded nachos and more.
In Hythe, fêtes and school fairs suit a Mexican street-food truck: it is quick to serve and easy to find. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
Event catering near Hythe
Hythe is about 4 miles south of Southampton, in Hampshire. We serve at events in homes, gardens and venues in Hythe and the surrounding area. Hythe is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire where we can bring Mexican street food.
For a public event, it helps to tell people that Southampton Town Quay station is about 2.3 miles away. Hot food from a truck or trailer could give a school fair, for a school such as Waterside Primary School, a busy corner. Organisers near the New Forest National Park, within about 4 miles of Hythe, may face extra conditions on traffic, ground protection and waste. We work to whatever the site sets. With the sea within about 3 miles, we plan for wind at coastal events, on firm ground rather than sand.
Anywhere in SO45, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Streets in the area include High Street, Deerleap Close and Langdown Lawn, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby.

How the day works
We get there well before you want to serve, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. Guests come up to order when service opens. Late-September events in Hythe see sunset at about 7:10pm, so later trading needs some lighting. Organisers should plan that into the site layout.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- You get our menu and pitch requirements.
- We confirm power, water and access arrangements.
- On the day, we are ready before the busiest hours.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
Before we arrive
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat

Working with your venue
Throwing a party at home? Send us a picture of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we’ll tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so guests are looked after quickly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.

Why book with us
- Access, space and power checked in advance
- A quote that sets out what’s included
- Options for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests
- Book food, drinks or both

What we need at the venue
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but a few things matter:
- Clear information on power, water and waste
- Vehicle access to the pitch for set-up and break-down
- A pitch big enough for the truck or trailer and a queue
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.
Can I do a taco night myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
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.
