Mexican street food near St Ives
Mexican street food for your event in St Ives
We slow-cook fillings ahead and finish them on site, which keeps the queue moving at busy times. It suits festivals and street food and farmers’ markets, serving tacos, loaded nachos and burritos.
Rural events near St Ives can be a long way from food outlets, so a hot-food truck is a big help. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
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.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included. To make it work smoothly:
- Schedule crew meals
- Give traders a single information pack
- Provide seating near the food
- Ask traders about packaging and waste
We serve from the hatch throughout trading hours, made to order.
Bowls as a gluten-free choice.
How the day works
On the day, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. We are ready to serve at the agreed time, planned around your event. A December market in St Ives loses the light at about 4:05pm, so site lighting matters for traders and visitors alike. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:25pm.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- We reply with our stall menu and what we need on site.
- We confirm power, water and access arrangements.
- On the day, we’re ready before the busiest hours.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.

Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.

What do you need at the pitch?
We will confirm our needs once we know the pitch details, including power and water.
How long do you serve for?
It depends on your event. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.

We cater across London and the South East, Hampshire included. Find your area.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes. There are vegan tacos and corn tortillas for gluten-free visitors.
Do you need electricity?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Whether you need disposables
- How long we’re needed on site

What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so share your ideas with us. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.

Where the truck can go in St Ives
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but a few things matter:

- Clear information on power, water and waste
- A pitch with space around it, away from tents and structures
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
