The process
Service is quick and friendly: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. When service ends, we pack down. At midsummer, events in West Malling stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We confirm our menu, pitch needs and paperwork.
- We arrive and set up at the agreed time.
- Orders are served from the hatch while the event runs.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare

- Tell us when you want service to start

Questions from West Malling
Can you trade at a school fair in West Malling?
We can, as long as the school agrees and the truck or trailer can reach the pitch. Tell us the date, the site and roughly how many visitors you expect.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Manor Park Country Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
How long are you on site?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book.
Is the food made fresh?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Can vegans eat at your stall?
Yes. We serve vegan fillings such as black beans or spiced mushrooms.
Can you feed our volunteers?
We can. We can cook for crew, volunteers or a hospitality area as well as, or instead of, a public stall.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Kent included. Find your area.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
What Mexican street food costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The number of people
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
There is no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican street food. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Your menu ideas
- The address or venue name
- The date and time of the event
- How we drive in and where we can park

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
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 be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
