About our Mexican street food in Tenterden
One Mexican trader covers several diets: there are vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, with corn tortillas. That helps organisers balance the line-up. We serve tacos, loaded nachos and burrito bowls, and it suits fundraisers and fêtes and outdoor cinema and theatre nights.
Around Tenterden, a fête or summer fair suits a food truck. Tell us about the pitch, ground and access. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

Tenterden questions
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
How far is Tenterden from central London?
It is about 45 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
What about power on site?
Tell us what the site has, for instance a supply from the venue, and we will confirm what we need with your quote.
What do you need at the venue?
The main things are access and a level spot: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
Can you come to a private house?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a picture and we’ll talk it through.
Can you send us your trader documents?
Share your trader requirements.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Do you need power?
Send pitch details and we’ll confirm, including power and water.
How it compares
Burger and hot dog stalls are familiar but similar. Tacos add something different to a food line-up. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Your quote confirms the full price.
Why us?
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests
- Service planned around your numbers

- A menu agreed with you

DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
What we need at the venue
We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Clearance from tents and gazebos
- Clear information on power, water and waste
- A pitch big enough for the truck or trailer and a queue
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
