Mexican street food in Swanton, served fresh
Organisers can book us as a public stall or to feed crew, volunteers and hospitality areas. We serve vegan tacos, quesadillas and tacos, and it’s a good fit for seasonal and night markets and summer fairs and fêtes.
Rural events near Swanton can be a long way from food outlets, so a taco truck is a welcome sight. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included, with allergen information for everything we serve.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
