About our Mexican street food in Petteridge
One Mexican trader covers several diets: we serve vegan and vegetarian fillings and corn tortillas for gluten-free visitors. That helps organisers balance the line-up. Popular choices include quesadillas, burrito bowls and burritos, and it’s a good fit for feeding crew and volunteers and open-air performances.
Near Petteridge, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a taco truck is a welcome sight. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.

What happens on the day

- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- 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.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.

- Ask the venue about power and water

If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
