Mexican street food for Newington events
How our Mexican street food works in Newington
Few stalls draw a queue like a Mexican food truck. The smell of warm tortillas and slow-cooked fillings brings people over, and orders are served quickly from the hatch. At open-air performances and county and country shows, we will put together a menu of burritos, burrito bowls and loaded nachos.
For a village fête or field event near Newington, we can bring hot food to a rural site. Tell us about the ground, the gate and access. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our truck or trailer.
What affects the price in Newington
We’ll give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:

The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Comparing your options
Some street food is slow to serve one order at a time. With fillings prepared ahead, service is fast. Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.

The process
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can spend time with your guests. Christmas markets in Newington trade in the dark from about 3:50pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:15pm.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- We reply with our stall menu and what we need on site.
- We confirm power, water and access arrangements.
- On the day, we are ready before the busiest hours.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
Getting a price
We quote for each event separately, based on what you need. To ask for one, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Planning help
Can I do a taco night myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.

Before you choose a spot
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- Access for the truck or trailer at set-up
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
- A pitch with space around it, away from tents and structures
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
Working with your venue
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
