DIY taco night versus a caterer
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
How our Mexican street food works in Kingsnorth
Few stalls draw a queue like a Mexican food truck. People follow the smell of warm tortillas, and orders are served quickly from the hatch. It works well for agricultural and county shows and food and music festivals, with burritos, quesadillas and burrito bowls.
At a field event near Kingsnorth, power and water may be limited; let us know and we’ll confirm the arrangements. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.
Catering for every guest
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Book crew catering in advance
- Make allergen information visible at every stall
- Share power and water details early
- Ensure the line-up includes vegan and gluten-free options
Our pitch is kept tidy.

What Mexican street food costs
We quote for your event, and the price is based on:
- The number of people
- Distance and access to the venue
