Mexican street food in St Michaels
The process
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. Evening events in St Michaels have light until about 9:15pm at midsummer; beyond that, ask the organiser how the site will be lit.
- Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
- You get our stall menu, what we need at the pitch and the paperwork you request.
- On the day, we arrive in the set-up window and get ready to trade.
- We cook to order and serve through the agreed trading hours.
- At the close, we clear our pitch.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park

Mexican street food for your event in St Michaels
A taco stall covers many diets at once: we serve vegan and vegetarian fillings and corn tortillas for gluten-free visitors. That makes your food line-up easier. We serve burrito bowls, tacos and quesadillas, and it’s a good fit for school and charity events and village fairs.
Rural events near St Michaels 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.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
If you’re 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 saves passing messages back and forth.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
Space, access and the venue
If a space isn’t suitable, we will tell you. The main points are:
- Clearance from tents and gazebos
- Clear information on power, water and waste
- A level pitch on firm ground
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
