Mexican street food in Rochester Riverside, from our truck or trailer
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. Popular choices include quesadillas, vegan tacos and loaded nachos, and it is a good fit for summer fairs and fêtes and street food and farmers’ markets.
Summer fairs around Rochester Riverside are often run by volunteers, so it helps to agree the pitch, power and water early. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
Why choose Mexican street food in Rochester Riverside?
It suits outdoor events of all sizes.
We can help if you are planning any of the following:
- Seasonal and night markets
- Community days
- Hospitality and crew areas
- Village fêtes and summer fairs
PTA volunteers planning an event for a school like Rochester Riverside Church of England Primary School might like a trader who brings everything and serves quickly.
