Mexican street food in Tilehurst Within, from our food truck or trailer
We follow your site rules, from arrival times to waste. At crew and volunteer catering and sports clubs and race days, we’ll put together a menu of vegan tacos, quesadillas and burrito bowls.
Summer fairs around Tilehurst Within are often run by volunteers, so it helps to agree the pitch, power and water early. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
Mexican street food or something else?
A single pizza or burger stall can’t cover every visitor. Our menu gives visitors choice from one pitch. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.
Why book with us
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
- Access, space and power checked in advance

- A clear quote

Dietary needs and planning tips
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Give traders a single information pack
- Share vehicle access times with traders
- Ask for allergen information at each stall
- Check traders’ packaging and waste plans
Orders are served throughout the event, made to order.
Nachos for groups.
How it works
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can enjoy your event. For an evening event in Tilehurst Within, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June; after that, the trading area needs lighting from the organiser or the site.
- You send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- We send our menu, pitch requirements and the documents you ask traders for.
- On the day, we arrive in the set-up window and get ready to trade.
- Tacos, burritos and more are served to order while the event is open.
- When trading ends, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
How to get a price

Can I do a taco night myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
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.
Planning the serving area
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We look for:
- The event’s site rules and timings
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding
- A pitch big enough for the truck or trailer and a queue
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
