About our Mexican street food in Marden Thorn
Few stalls draw a queue like a Mexican food truck. The smell of warm tortillas and slow-cooked fillings brings people over, and orders come out fast from the hatch. Popular choices include quesadillas, vegan tacos and tacos, and it suits race days and sports events and school and charity events.
For a village fête or field event near Marden Thorn, a truck or trailer brings hot food to a rural site. Ground conditions and access matter, so tell us about them. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
