About our Mexican street food in Northfleet
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. For hospitality and crew areas and street food and farmers’ markets, we will put together a menu of burritos, quesadillas and tacos and more.
In Northfleet, schools, clubs and churches often run summer events. A truck or trailer can suit any of them. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Your questions about Mexican street food in Northfleet
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Northfleet Urban Country Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
Which station is closest to Northfleet?
Gravesend station, about 1 mile north-east of the centre.
How long do you serve for?
It depends on your event. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.
How spicy is the food?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
How much is a food truck for an event?
We quote for each event, so the price fits what you want. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear 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, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Can you trade at our festival or fair?
Send us the details, and we will reply with our availability and what we need.
How quickly can you serve?
With fillings ready to go, service is quick.

- First, we check the dates.
- We agree the menu and the pitch.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- We are ready to serve as visitors arrive.
- We trade, then pack down.
Getting ready for the day

Planners, venues and businesses
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Northfleet? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Give us the details and we’ll suggest a plan.
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 will work to it.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
