Mexican street food near Swanwick
Mexican street food for your event in Swanwick
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. Popular choices include burritos, tacos and burrito bowls, and it suits community days and fundraisers and fêtes.
Rural events near Swanwick can be a long way from food outlets, so a hot-food truck is a big help. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
Before you choose a spot
We serve from a truck or trailer, so where we park matters. Here’s what we look for:
- Clear information on power, water and waste
- Spacing from tents and other structures
- Vehicle access before and after the event
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
What’s on the menu
Burritos
A big tortilla wrapped round rice, beans, a filling and toppings to eat on the go.
Tacos
Warm tortillas with a filling, salsa and toppings, quick to serve.

Swanwick questions
How far is Swanwick from central London?
Roughly 67 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Could you bring a taco truck to a school fair in Swanwick?
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.
How quickly can you serve?
Fillings are cooked ahead and kept hot, so orders are assembled quickly.
Can vegans eat at your stall?
Yes. Vegan fillings such as spiced mushrooms or black beans are on the menu.
What do you need at the pitch?
We will confirm our needs once we know the pitch details, including power and water.
How spicy is the food?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Can you feed our volunteers?
We can. We can cook for crew, volunteers or a hospitality area as well as, or instead of, a public stall.
Can you come to a private house?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a photo and we will talk it through.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:

- Food, drinks or both
- How many staff you need
