Mexican street food in Swanley
Mexican street food in Swanley, served fresh
A Mexican food truck pulls a crowd at any outdoor event. People follow the smell of warm tortillas, and orders are served quickly from the hatch. It works well for outdoor cinema and theatre nights and music and food festivals, serving burritos, vegan tacos and quesadillas.
For events in a place like Swanley, one hot-food trader that suits most diets makes life easy. Tacos and burritos can do exactly that. Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included, with allergen information for everything we serve.

Can I do a taco night myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
