Planning the serving area
We will agree the spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A pitch big enough for the truck or trailer and a queue
- Clear information on power, water and waste
- Vehicle access to the pitch for set-up and break-down

Mexican street food for your event in Saltwood
The menu is agreed with organisers, perhaps chicken tinga, carnitas or birria, and a vegan filling like black beans. On the menu are loaded nachos, burritos and vegan tacos, and it suits feeding crew and volunteers and outdoor screenings.
Rural events near Saltwood can be a long way from food outlets, so a taco truck is a welcome sight. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer.

- It starts with your event details and pitch information.
- You get our stall menu, what we need at the pitch and the paperwork you request.
- On the day, we arrive in the set-up window and get ready to trade.
- We serve from the hatch through the trading times you set.

Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day

DIY taco night versus a caterer
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s 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.
Common questions in Saltwood
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Brockhill Country Park?
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’ll send what they need from us.
Will you travel to a small place like Saltwood?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will check the licensing with you.
Is the food suitable for children?
Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
Which areas do you serve?
We cater across London and the South East, Kent included. Find your area.
What does Mexican street food cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.
What happens if it rains?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Can you feed our volunteers?
We can. Crew, volunteer and hospitality catering is available, with or without a public stall.
Prices and what affects them
