Mexican street food near Upper Harbledown
Mexican street food in Upper Harbledown, served fresh
A Mexican food truck pulls a crowd at any outdoor event. The smell of warm tortillas and slow-cooked fillings brings people over, and orders come out fast from the hatch. At open days and community events and street food and farmers’ markets, we can serve vegan tacos, quesadillas and burritos for your guests.
Rural events near Upper Harbledown can be a long way from food outlets, so a hot-food truck is a big help. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
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. Our taco bar guide explains how.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Organising for someone else?
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so guests are looked after quickly. Let us know how long the break is.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.

Questions from Upper Harbledown
Is it possible to have you in No Man's Orchard?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
Do you cater at coastal events near Upper Harbledown?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Read our taco bar guide.
Do you do crew catering?
Yes. Crew, volunteer and hospitality catering is available, with or without a public stall.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect, and we’ll keep their options separate.
How big an event can you cater?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Where do you cater?
