About our Mexican street food in Waterbeach
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. For hospitality and crew areas and food and music festivals, we can serve loaded nachos, vegan tacos and quesadillas for your guests.
Rural events near Waterbeach can be a long way from food outlets, so a hot-food truck is a big help. Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included, and we give allergen information for every dish.

The process
Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, get the serving area ready, and serve without fuss. Christmas markets in Waterbeach trade in the dark from about 4:00pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:20pm.
- It starts with your event details and pitch information.
- We send our menu, pitch requirements and the documents you ask traders for.
- We set up the truck or trailer on the pitch at the agreed time.
- We serve from the hatch through the trading times you set.
- When trading ends, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Ask the venue about power and water

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Planning for every diet
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Check traders’ packaging and waste plans
- Share vehicle access times with traders
- Ask for allergen information at each stall
- Provide seating near the food
Allergen information is available at the hatch.
