Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
How our Mexican street food works in Rustington
Tacos, burritos and bowls are easy to eat on the move, which suits festival crowds. For village fêtes and summer fairs and outdoor screenings, we can serve burrito bowls, loaded nachos and quesadillas for your guests.

The process
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your event. At midsummer, events in Rustington stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- You send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- We confirm our menu, our pitch needs and the paperwork your event asks for.
- We set up the truck or trailer on the pitch at the agreed time.
- Tacos, burritos and more are served to order while the event is open.
- We pack away and leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Give us your final numbers and diets

Your questions about Mexican street food in Rustington
Do you come to events in the South Downs National Park?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Can you serve near the sea around Rustington?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Seafront and beach spots normally need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we’ll check the licensing with you and your venue.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Read our taco bar guide.
What does Mexican street food cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Send us the details for a quote.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Our truck and trailer service typically suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Send us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll talk it through.

What Mexican street food costs
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- The number of people
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Travel, parking and access
