Mexican street food for your event in St Helen's
A taco stall covers many diets at once: there are vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, with corn tortillas. That makes your food line-up easier. It suits school and charity events and seasonal and night markets, with vegan tacos, loaded nachos and burrito bowls.
In St Helen's, one trader covering most diets keeps it simple. A Mexican street-food truck can do that. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

Space, access and the venue
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
- Access for the truck or trailer at set-up
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

- Vegan options
- Burritos
- Tacos

For event organisers in St Helen's
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Hosting a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about access, and we will let you know if it’s a good fit.
Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Your questions about Mexican street food in St Helen's
Can you serve near the sea around St Helen's?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Seafront and beach spots generally need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
Can you trade at a school fair in St Helen's?
Yes, with the school’s permission and a pitch the truck or trailer can reach. Tell us the date and pitch details.
What documents can you send?
Share your trader requirements and we will respond.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we will talk it through.
What do you serve?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Do you cover St Helen's?
Yes, we do. St Helen's is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
The process
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A picture of the space helps. By late September, it’s dark in St Helen's at around 7:00pm, so an evening programme will run partly after dusk. Organisers should plan that into the site layout.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- We reply with our stall menu and what we need on site.
- We confirm power, water and access arrangements.
- On the day, we are ready before the busiest hours.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
Before we arrive
- Find out what power and water are available
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
