About our Mexican street food in Shortlands
A taco stall covers many diets at once: there are vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, with corn tortillas. That helps organisers balance the line-up. For country shows and food markets, we can serve loaded nachos, quesadillas and tacos for your guests.
In Shortlands, street events mean planning access, closures and where the truck fits. Send us the pitch size, access route and timings. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

Should I do it myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
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 enjoy the party, let us serve.
Planning for every diet
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Provide seating near the food
- Ask for allergen information at each stall
- Plan access routes for trader vehicles
- Ask traders about packaging and waste
We keep our pitch tidy and safe throughout the day.
Catering for crew and hospitality areas.
What happens on the day
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. Summer events in Shortlands have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- We reply with our stall menu and what we need on site.
- We confirm power, water and access arrangements.
- On the day, we’re ready before the busiest hours.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
