Mexican street food in Tapnage, from our truck or trailer
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance and kept hot on site, which keeps the queue moving at busy times. Popular choices include tacos, burritos and quesadillas, and it suits sports club events and feeding crew and volunteers.
Near Tapnage, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a taco truck is a welcome sight. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.

FAQs for Tapnage
Will you travel to a small place like Tapnage?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Could you bring a taco truck to a school fair in Tapnage?
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.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu, served alongside the meat options.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we will confirm what’s included with your quote.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll check the licensing with you.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.
What happens if it rains?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Do you need water?
Send pitch details and we will confirm, including power and water.
