What Mexican street food costs

Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:

  • Serving staff
  • Timings and hours
  • Parking and the route in
  • Whether you add a drinks bar or food

Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Your quote confirms the full price.

What we need to know

To speed things up, tell us:

  • Your date and when you want service to start
  • Approximate guest numbers, including children
  • A photo of the space, if it is a garden or field
  • What you’d like on the menu

Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will come back with a clear quote and a suggested menu.

Organising for someone else?

For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can check the date.

Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.

Should I do it myself?

For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.

Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.

Comparing your options

For a stall that adds atmosphere, a Mexican food truck is a strong choice. There is no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican street food. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.

It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up our truck or trailer, and serve without fuss.

  2. You get our menu and pitch requirements.
  3. Power, water and access are agreed in advance.
  4. On the day, we are ready before the busiest hours.
