Mexican street food for Matfield events
Mexican street food in Matfield, served fresh
Crew and volunteer meals are timed to suit you, keeping your team going. We serve tacos, loaded nachos and quesadillas, and it’s a good fit for race days and sports events and fundraisers and fêtes.
Near Matfield, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hot-food truck is a big help. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Prices and what affects them
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Food, drinks or both
- Distance and access to the venue
Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you can choose what you need.
