Mexican street food in Parkgate, served fresh
We trade at festivals, fairs, markets, school fairs and community events. On the menu are vegan tacos, loaded nachos and burritos, and it suits open-air performances and school fairs and fundraisers.
A fête near Parkgate might be on a field with no mains power; tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it. We cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.
DIY taco night versus 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’ll do the serving.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Is Mexican street food right for your event?
For a stall that adds atmosphere, a Mexican food truck is a strong choice. Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Common questions in Parkgate
Do you cater in villages like Parkgate?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Do you come to school fairs around Parkgate?
We can, as long as the school agrees and the truck or trailer can reach the pitch. Tell us the date, the site and roughly how many visitors you expect.
Do you run a bar at festivals?
It depends on the event’s licence. Tell us whether the event has a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
Can you cater for crew and volunteers?
We can. Crew, volunteer and hospitality catering is available, with or without a public stall.
Is the food made fresh?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
When do you arrive?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you so everything fits your schedule.
What paperwork do you provide?
Send your requirements and we will respond with our documents.
Do you need power?
Let us know what the pitch has and we will confirm our needs. Power and water are agreed with each booking.
What happens on the day
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. A December market in Parkgate loses the light at about 3:50pm, so site lighting matters for traders and visitors alike. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:15pm.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- We reply with our stall menu and what we need on site.
- Power, water and access are agreed in advance.
- We plan to be ready for the lunchtime rush.
