Tell us expected visitor numbers and we’ll plan for peak times.

Do you do a taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Let us know your numbers and space and we will recommend how to serve.
What does Mexican street food cost?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we will reply with a quote.
Can you cater in a back garden?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.

What we need at the venue
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Pitch space for the vehicle and a queue
- Vehicle access before and after the event
- Spacing from tents and other structures
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
Step by step
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A photo of the space helps. For an evening event in Shortheath, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after that, the trading area needs lighting from the organiser or the site.
- Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
- We send our menu, pitch requirements and the documents you ask traders for.
- We set up the truck or trailer on the pitch at the agreed time.
- We cook to order and serve through the agreed trading hours.
- We pack away and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat

DIY taco night versus a caterer
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is 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.
