Book Mexican street food in Osney
Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
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.
How our Mexican street food works in Osney
We agree a stall menu with you, with fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, and a vegan filling like black beans. Popular choices include loaded nachos, tacos and burrito bowls, which works well for school and charity events and village fêtes and summer fairs.
Village fêtes and summer fairs around Osney can be a good fit for a taco truck. Send us the pitch and access details. We cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. We are ready to serve at the agreed time, so everything runs to your schedule. Summer events in Osney have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
