DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
How our Mexican street food works in South Chailey
We work to your trader pack and site rules, including arrival times and waste arrangements. At school fairs and fundraisers and community days, we can serve burrito bowls, loaded nachos and burritos.
Rural events near South Chailey can be a long way from food outlets, so a taco truck is a welcome sight. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.
