How we price Mexican street food
We quote for your event, and the price is based on:
- The length of service
- The number of people
- Serving staff
- What the venue already provides
What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so share your ideas with us. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- A picture of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- The date and time of the event
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, send a quick message through our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
Throwing a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about access, and we’ll let you know if it’s a good fit.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
Step by step
We arrive in good time before service, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. At midsummer, events in Martin stay light until about 9:15pm, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- We check your dates.
- We agree the menu and the pitch.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- The hatch opens when the event does.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
