About our Mexican street food in Uplees
A taco stall covers many diets at once: there are vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, with corn tortillas. That makes your food line-up easier. It works well for feeding crew and volunteers and seasonal and night markets, with burrito bowls, quesadillas and vegan tacos.
At a field event near Uplees, power and water may be limited; tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Organising for someone else?
Hosting a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about access, and we will let you know if it’s a good fit.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.

The process
Here’s how the day generally runs: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and we serve your guests fresh for the agreed time. Christmas markets in Uplees trade in the dark from about 3:50pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:15pm.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We confirm our menu, pitch needs and paperwork.
- We set up in the agreed window.
- Orders are served from the hatch while the event runs.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Find out what power and water are available
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
