How our Mexican street food works in Linton
We follow your site rules, from arrival times to waste. It works well for community days and festivals, with quesadillas, burritos and vegan tacos.
A fête near Linton might be on a field with no mains power; let us know and we will confirm the arrangements. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
Linton questions
Could you bring a taco truck to a school fair in Linton?
We can, as long as the school agrees and the truck or trailer can reach the pitch. Tell us the date, the site and roughly how many visitors you expect.
Do you come to events in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Do you need power and water?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we’ll park.
What if the weather’s bad?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
What’s on the menu?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Do you cover Linton?
Yes, we do. We serve at events in Linton and across Kent. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
How much is a food truck for an event?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Send us the details for a quote.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.

How it works
We get there well before you want to serve, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. A December market in Linton loses the light at about 3:50pm, so site lighting matters for traders and visitors alike. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:15pm.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We confirm our menu, pitch needs and paperwork.
- We set up in the agreed window.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack down and tidy the pitch.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Share vehicle access times with traders
- Check every diet is covered by the line-up
- Check how traders handle peak times
- Provide seating near the food
We keep in touch with your traders’ contact on the day on any changes.
Loaded nachos for sharing.
How we price Mexican street food
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Guest numbers
- Travel, parking and access
- Staff for serving and the bar
There is no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican street food. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.
What we need to know
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Your menu ideas
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Your date and when you want service to start
- A picture of where we’d park
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, tell us about it on our contact page.
