Mexican street food in Stubb's Cross
Before you choose a spot
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. These are the things we check:

- Clearance from tents and gazebos
- Access for the truck or trailer at set-up
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.

Your questions about Mexican street food in Stubb's Cross
Is it possible to have you in Ashford Community Woodland?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.

Can we book you as a trader?

What access do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Do you need power and water?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a photo of the access and the space.
What does Mexican street food cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.
Do you do a taco bar?
