About our Mexican street food in Rowlands Castle
Our food is easy to eat standing up or on the grass. It works well for hospitality and crew areas and fundraisers and fêtes, serving vegan tacos, burritos and quesadillas.
Village fêtes and summer fairs around Rowlands Castle can be a good fit for a taco truck. Tell us about the pitch, ground and access. You will know what’s included before you book: menu, timings and any add-ons.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is 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.
