Mexican street food in Shepway, served fresh
Festivals, fairs, markets and school fairs are all on our list in and around Shepway. For county and country shows and village fêtes and summer fairs, we will put together a menu of tacos, quesadillas and burritos for your guests.

Can I do a taco night 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.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Travel, parking and access
- How long we are needed on site
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- The date and time of the event
- Where the event is
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. When you’re ready, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Is Mexican street food right for your event?
Burger and hot dog stalls are familiar but similar. Tacos add something different. Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Your quote confirms the full price.
Why us?
- A menu agreed with you
- A quote that sets out what’s included
- A plan agreed before the day
- Served fresh from our truck or trailer
