Mexican street food near Thorpe
About our Mexican street food in Thorpe
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance and kept hot on site, so service stays quick through busy periods. It suits crew and volunteer catering and school and charity events, serving vegan tacos, burrito bowls and quesadillas.
At a field event near Thorpe, power and water may be limited; let us know and we’ll confirm the arrangements. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer.
What we need at the venue
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We look for:
- Vehicle access to the pitch for set-up and break-down
- Room for the truck or trailer and customers
- Flat, firm ground
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
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 planners, venues and organisers
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so everyone is served promptly. Let us know how long the break is.
Throwing a party at home? Send us a photo of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we’ll let you know if it is a good fit.
Is Mexican street food right for your event?
Hot-cabinet food lacks appeal. Everything we serve is assembled to order. Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.

Thorpe questions
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Penton Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
Will you travel to a small place like Thorpe?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we will confirm what’s included with your quote.
Can you serve in the rain?
Rain does not generally stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
How much is a food truck for an event?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.
What about power on site?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we will park.
When do you arrive?
It depends on your event. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
How it works
