Mexican street food for Upper Basildon events
How our Mexican street food works in Upper Basildon
Few stalls draw a queue like a Mexican food truck. People follow the smell of warm tortillas, and orders are served quickly from the hatch. It suits country shows and music and food festivals, serving burrito bowls, burritos and tacos.
Near Upper Basildon, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a taco truck is a welcome sight. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
