Why choose Mexican street food in Shottenden?
Hot-cabinet food lacks appeal. Our food is made to order. 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.

How the day works
Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up our food truck or trailer, and serve without fuss. For an evening event in Shottenden, sunset is about 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June; after that, the trading area needs lighting from the organiser or the site.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We send our menu, needs and the documents you ask for.
- We set up in the agreed window.
- Orders are served from the hatch while the event runs.
- We pack down and tidy the pitch.
Before we arrive

- If the price includes VAT
- Who provides plates and napkins
Should I do it myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
