Mexican street food in Somerley
How our Mexican street food works in Somerley
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance and kept hot on site, which keeps the queue moving at busy times. It works well for fundraisers and fêtes and crew and volunteer catering, serving loaded nachos, quesadillas and burritos.
Near Somerley, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a taco truck is a welcome sight. You will know what’s included before you book: menu, timings and any add-ons.

Questions to ask before booking
- Travel and parking costs
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether plates, napkins and cutlery are included
- How bad weather is handled
The process
Service is quick and friendly: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. When service ends, we pack down. A December market in Somerley loses the light at about 4:00pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:20pm.
- It starts with your event details and pitch information.
- We confirm our menu, our pitch needs and the paperwork your event asks for.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on our pitch.
- Tacos, burritos and more are served to order while the event is open.
- When trading ends, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat

Can I do a taco night myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.

Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
