Mexican street food in West Town, from our truck or trailer
We agree a stall menu with you, with fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, and a vegan filling like black beans. At street food and farmers’ markets and open-air performances, we’ll put together a menu of burrito bowls, loaded nachos and quesadillas and more.
In West Town, one trader covering most diets keeps it simple. A Mexican street-food truck can do that. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
What Mexican street food costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The menu you choose
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Parking and the route in
The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- What you’d like on the menu
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- The date and time of the event
- Where the event is
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you need. To ask for one, send a quick message through our quote form.
Should I do it myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Comparing your options
Crew sandwiches are easy but dull. A hot burrito or taco bowl keeps crew going. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.

- Agree when vehicles can move on site

We set up at the agreed time.
Bowls as a gluten-free choice.
Space, access and the venue
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:
- Clearance from tents and gazebos
- Vehicle access to the pitch for set-up and break-down
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding
