Questions from Tiptoe
Do you come to school fairs around Tiptoe?
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.
Can you serve near the sea around Tiptoe?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Seafront and beach spots usually need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Tell us your numbers.
How long are you on site?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book.
Is the food very hot?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Can you feed our volunteers?
Yes, at set times to suit your schedule. Send us numbers and times.
What do you need at the venue?
The main things are access and a level spot: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
Do you cook on site?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.

Prices and what affects them
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Timings and hours
- How many staff you need
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Distance and access to the venue
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Getting an accurate quote
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- The venue or postcode
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- A picture of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just fill in our quote form.
Comparing your options
Some street food is slow to serve one order at a time. Our fillings are ready to go, so orders are quick. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican street food. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.

How the day works
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. Summer events in Tiptoe have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 4:05pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We send our menu, needs and the documents you ask for.
- We set up in the agreed window.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Give us your final numbers and diets

DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Catering for every guest
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Share power and water details early
- Check every diet is covered by the line-up
- Feed crew and volunteers at set times
- Provide seating near the food
Our pitch is kept tidy.
Nachos for groups.
- Served from our truck or trailer at your venue, garden or event
