How our Mexican street food works in Upton
Organisers can book us as a public stall or to feed crew, volunteers and hospitality areas. For music and food festivals and school fairs and fundraisers, we’ll put together a menu of quesadillas, loaded nachos and vegan tacos for your guests.
Summer fairs around Upton are often run by volunteers, so it helps to agree the pitch, power and water early. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
How it compares
Some street food is slow to serve one order at a time. With fillings prepared ahead, service is fast. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Your quote confirms the full price.

For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so guests are looked after quickly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.

Can I do a taco night myself?
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.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
What happens on the day
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A picture of the space helps. By late September, it’s dark in Upton at around 7:05pm, so an evening programme will run partly after dusk. Organisers should plan that into the site layout.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- You get our menu and pitch requirements.
- Power, water and access are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we are ready before the busiest hours.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
How to prepare
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
