How our Mexican street food works in Queen's Bower
A Mexican food truck pulls a crowd at any outdoor event. People follow the smell of warm tortillas, and orders come out fast from the hatch. On the menu are burritos, vegan tacos and quesadillas, which works well for village fêtes and summer fairs and music and food festivals.
A fête near Queen's Bower might be on a field with no mains power; let us know and we’ll confirm the arrangements. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Organising for someone else?
Hosting a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about access, and we will tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so guests are looked after quickly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
