Mexican street food in Iden
DIY taco night versus a caterer
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Mexican street food in Iden, from our food truck or trailer
We agree a stall menu with you, perhaps chicken tinga, carnitas or birria, and a vegan filling like black beans. It suits street food and farmers’ markets and food and music festivals, serving burritos, loaded nachos and tacos.
Rural events near Iden can be a long way from food outlets, so a hot-food truck is a big help. Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included, and we give allergen information for every dish.
