How our Mexican street food works in Marden
Tacos, burritos and bowls are easy to eat on the move. It suits summer fairs and fêtes and sports club events, with burritos, loaded nachos and tacos.
Summer fairs around Marden are often run by volunteers, so we agree pitch, access and power with the organiser in advance. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
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, and handles allergen information for you.

Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we’ll confirm what we need with your quote.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
