Mexican street food for Southwood events
About our Mexican street food in Southwood
A Mexican food truck pulls a crowd at any outdoor event. People follow the smell of warm tortillas, and orders come out fast from the hatch. At music and food festivals and country shows, we can serve quesadillas, tacos and burrito bowls and more.
Around Southwood, a fête or summer fair suits a food truck. Tell us about the pitch, ground and access. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.
What happens on the day
When service finishes, we pack up and leave our area tidy. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. Christmas markets in Southwood trade in the dark from about 3:55pm, so site lighting matters for traders and visitors alike. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:25pm.
- You send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- 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.
- We serve from the hatch through the trading times you set.
- When trading ends, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely

Planning help
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
