How our Mexican street food works in Ruscombe
One Mexican trader covers several diets: there are vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, with corn tortillas. That makes your food line-up easier. At country shows and music and food festivals, we’ll put together a menu of tacos, vegan tacos and burrito bowls and more.
At a field event near Ruscombe, power and water may be limited; let us know and we’ll confirm the arrangements. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.
Should I do it myself?
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- The menu you choose
- Guest numbers
- Parking and the route in
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Your date and when you want service to start
- The venue or postcode
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.
