DIY taco night or a caterer?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.

Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, most diets are easy. Our advice:
- Book crew catering in advance

- Tell traders about power and water before the day
We serve from the hatch throughout trading hours, made to order.
Alcohol-free aguas frescas.
How the day works
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you are ready, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. At midsummer, events in Smannell stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- You get our menu and pitch requirements.
- Power, water and access are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we’re ready before the busiest hours.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day

Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Vehicle access before and after the event
- The event’s site rules and timings
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
What Mexican street food costs
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:

- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Timings and hours
