About our Mexican street food in Otterbourne
We work to your trader pack and site rules, including arrival times and waste arrangements. Popular choices include vegan tacos, burritos and loaded nachos, and it’s a good fit for music and food festivals and fundraisers and fêtes.
Near Otterbourne, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a taco truck is a welcome sight. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.
Planning for every diet
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Share power and water details early
- Plan for vegan and gluten-free visitors
- Ask about peak-time capacity
- Schedule crew meals
On the day, we work with your site team.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.

Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.

We quote for each event, so the price fits what you want. Tell us your date and numbers and we will reply with a quote.
Can you plan for allergies?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
How many guests can you serve?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
