Mexican street food in Stanwell, from our truck or trailer
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance and kept hot on site, which keeps the queue moving at busy times. At crew and volunteer catering and village fêtes and summer fairs, we can serve tacos, loaded nachos and burritos and more.
For events in a place like Stanwell, one hot-food trader that suits most diets makes life easy. A Mexican street-food truck can do that. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
What’s on the menu
Loaded nachos
Tortilla chips with cheese, salsa and toppings.
Quesadillas
Toasted tortillas with melted cheese.

Stanwell: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Stanwell?
Guests can use Ashford Surrey station, about 1.2 miles south of Stanwell.
Could you bring a taco truck to a school fair in Stanwell?
Yes, with the school’s permission and a pitch the truck or trailer can reach. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
What about power on site?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we’ll park.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms.
Can you handle a lunchtime rush?
With fillings ready to go, service is quick.
What does Mexican street food cost?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Send us the details for a quote.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes. We serve vegan fillings such as black beans or spiced mushrooms.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
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.
Dietary needs and planning tips
With a little notice, most diets are easy. Our advice:
- Ask about peak-time capacity
- Plan seating near the food area
- Book crew catering in advance
- Ensure the line-up includes vegan and gluten-free options
At the end, we clear the pitch and leave it clean.
Alcohol-free aguas frescas.
Where the truck can go in Stanwell
We will agree the spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Pitch space for the vehicle and a queue
- Details of power, water and waste arrangements
- Spacing from tents and other structures
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
Step by step
Here’s how the day usually runs: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and we serve your guests fresh for the agreed time. By late September, it is dark in Stanwell at around 7:05pm, so an evening programme will run partly after dusk. Tell us how the site will be lit when you send the pitch details.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- We reply with our stall menu and what we need on site.
- Power, water and access are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we’re ready before the busiest hours.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
