Working with your venue
Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
Can I do a taco night myself?
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’ll do the serving.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Planning the serving area
Before the day, we’ll agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Room for the truck or trailer and customers
- Vehicle access before and after the event
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.

What Mexican street food costs
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- How many guests we’re serving
- What the venue already provides
- The menu you choose
There is no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican street food. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- The date and rough timings
- What you’d like on the menu
- How we drive in and where we can park
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will come back with a clear quote.
The process
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. Late-September events in Shirburn see sunset at about 7:10pm, so an evening programme will run partly after dusk. Organisers should plan that into the site layout.
- You send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- You get our stall menu, what we need at the pitch and the paperwork you request.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on our pitch.
- We cook to order and serve through the agreed trading hours.
- We pack away and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
