Mexican street food in John's Cross, served fresh
A taco stall covers many diets at once: we serve vegan and vegetarian fillings and corn tortillas for gluten-free visitors. That helps organisers balance the line-up. We serve burritos, burrito bowls and loaded nachos, and it’s a good fit for food and music festivals and county and country shows.
A fête near John's Cross might be on a field with no mains power; tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
About the menu

Space, access and the venue
We serve from a truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- Clear information on power, water and waste
- Spacing from tents and other structures
- A pitch big enough for the truck or trailer and a queue
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
