About our Mexican street food in Staplers
A Mexican food truck pulls a crowd at any outdoor event. The smell of warm tortillas and slow-cooked fillings brings people over, and orders come out fast from the hatch. It works well for community events and open days and sports clubs and race days, with tacos, quesadillas and burrito bowls.
For events in a place like Staplers, one hot-food trader that suits most diets makes life easy. A Mexican street-food truck can do that. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.

We can, as long as the school agrees and the truck or trailer can reach the pitch. Tell us the date, the site and roughly how many visitors you expect.
Is there a vegan option at your stall?
Yes. We serve vegan fillings such as black beans or spiced mushrooms.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Can guests build their own tacos?
We can. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.
How much does Mexican street food cost in Staplers?

Catering for every guest
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Confirm power and water with traders
- Check every diet is covered by the line-up
- Agree when vehicles can move on site
- Check how traders handle peak times
We set up at the agreed time, following your trader pack.
Vegan tacos alongside the rest.
Space, access and the venue
We will agree the spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Your trader pack and site rules
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
- Pitch space for the vehicle and a queue
Staplers is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey and access for the truck or trailer.
