Can I do a taco night myself?
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.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
Before you choose a spot
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- Access for the truck or trailer at set-up
- Trader information and site rules
- Spacing from tents and other structures
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
Is Mexican street food right for your event?
If you want a trader that adds atmosphere, tacos and burritos deliver. Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you choose what goes in.
What you get with us
- Fast service, even with a queue
- Set-up planned with you and your venue
- Every guest catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included

How the day works
We work to your timings. If things run behind, tell us and we will adjust the start of service where we can. By late September, it is dark in Jacob's Post at around 7:05pm, so later trading needs some lighting. Tell us how the site will be lit when you send the pitch details.
- Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
- We send our menu, pitch requirements and the documents you ask traders for.
- We set up the truck or trailer on the pitch at the agreed time.
- We cook to order and serve through the agreed trading hours.
- When trading ends, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
