Mexican street food for Rye events
Mexican street food in Rye, served fresh
We agree a stall menu with you, perhaps chicken tinga, carnitas or birria, plus a vegan option such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. It suits food markets and agricultural and county shows, with burritos, tacos and loaded nachos.
Events near Rye are often volunteer-run, so we agree pitch, access and power with the organiser in advance. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.

Rye: your questions answered
Is it possible to have you in Rye Harbour LNR?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
Can you trade at a school fair in Rye?
Yes, with the school’s permission and a pitch the truck or trailer can reach. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. We will check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Do you need water?
Tell us what’s available at the pitch and we’ll confirm what we need. Power and water are agreed with each booking.
Can you come to a private house?
That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
Who clears up?
We clear our own area when service is finished. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Where do you cater?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire.
How the day works
Here’s how the day typically runs: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. At midsummer, events in Rye stay light until about 9:15pm, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- We check your dates.
- We agree what we will serve and where.
- We send the paperwork your event asks for.
- The hatch opens when the event does.
- We trade, then pack down.
How to prepare
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
Getting a price
Send us the date, your venue or TN31 postcode and guest numbers, plus any dietary needs, and we’ll reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. To get started, fill in our quote form.

Space, access and the venue
Every venue is different, so we’ll ask about yours when you contact us. In general, we need:
- Trader information and site rules
- A level pitch on firm ground
- Vehicle access to the pitch for set-up and break-down
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Planning for every diet
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Share power and water details early
- Plan seating near the food area
- Agree waste arrangements with traders
- Check how traders handle peak times
We arrive in the agreed set-up window.
Aguas frescas and soft drinks at the stall.
Should I do it myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
