How our Mexican street food works in Sandgate
Crew and volunteer meals are timed to suit you, so your team eats well on a long day. It works well for sports clubs and race days and school fairs and fundraisers, serving burrito bowls, burritos and tacos.
At a field event near Sandgate, power and water may be limited; tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Sandgate? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest a menu.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Make allergen information visible at every stall
- Feed crew and volunteers at set times
- Check every diet is covered by the line-up
- Put all trader information in one pack
At the end, we clear the pitch and leave it clean.
A vegan filling on every menu.
Comparing your options
One-dish stalls leave some visitors out. Our menu gives visitors choice from one pitch. There is no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican street food. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.

What affects the price in Sandgate
These are the factors that matter most:
- The menu you choose
- Distance and access to the venue
- How long we’re needed on site
- Guest numbers
Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- The venue or postcode
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We’ll send you a clear quote.
Where the truck can go in Sandgate
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Clear information on power, water and waste
- Clearance from tents and gazebos
- Flat, firm ground
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can I do a taco night myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
How it works
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, get the serving area ready, and get on with serving. A December market in Sandgate loses the light at about 3:50pm, so site lighting matters for traders and visitors alike. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:15pm.
- Send us your event details and pitch information.
- We confirm our menu, pitch needs and paperwork.
- We arrive and set up at the agreed time.
- Orders are served from the hatch while the event runs.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Give us a contact for the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
How to get a price
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
