How our Mexican street food works in Rainham
A Mexican food truck pulls a crowd at any outdoor event. The smell of warm tortillas and slow-cooked fillings brings people over, and orders come out fast from the hatch. It suits school and charity events and village fêtes and summer fairs, serving loaded nachos, burrito bowls and quesadillas.
In Rainham, community events include street parties, school fairs and markets. Organisers usually need council permission for public spaces and road closures, and we will provide what the organiser asks for from us. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
How it works
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our food truck or trailer, and get on with serving. At midsummer, events in Rainham stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We confirm our menu, pitch needs and paperwork.
- We set up in the agreed window.
- Orders are served from the hatch while the event runs.
- We pack down and tidy the pitch.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
