What Mexican street food costs
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Parking and the route in
- The length of service
- How many staff you need
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.

You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:

Other catering in Pitland Street
DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.

What we need at the venue
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:
- Clear information on power, water and waste
- A level pitch on firm ground
- Spacing from tents and other structures
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.
How the day works
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain doesn’t normally stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. A December market in Pitland Street loses the light at about 3:55pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We confirm our menu, pitch needs and paperwork.
- We set up in the agreed window.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
How to get a price
The quickest way to a quote is to send a quick message through our quote form. Give us the details of your event, and we will put together a menu and price.

Questions from Pitland Street
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Wotton and Abinger Commons?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.

How is the food prepared?
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.
Can you feed our volunteers?
We can. We can cook for crew, volunteers or a hospitality area as well as, or instead of, a public stall.
Can guests build their own tacos?
We can. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
