Mexican street food near Whitstable
How our Mexican street food works in Whitstable
We follow your site rules, including arrival times and waste arrangements. It suits food and music festivals and feeding crew and volunteers, with loaded nachos, quesadillas and vegan tacos.
School fairs, fêtes and summer events in Whitstable suit a taco truck: it draws a crowd and serves quickly. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll be honest if a space won’t work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- Your trader pack and site rules
- Clearance from tents and gazebos
- A pitch big enough for the truck or trailer and a queue
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Questions from Whitstable
Is it possible to have you in Foxes Cross Bottom?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
Is Whitstable close to London?
Roughly 50 miles from the centre of London.
What do you serve?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
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.
How quickly can you serve?
Fillings are cooked ahead and kept hot, so orders are assembled quickly.
Do you have vegan options?
We do. There are vegan tacos and corn tortillas for gluten-free visitors.
Can you bring margaritas?
It depends on the event’s licence. Let us know how alcohol is licensed at your event.
What about power on site?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we’ll confirm what we need with your quote.
Organising for someone else?
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.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
Perfect for your event in Whitstable

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Planning for every diet
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Confirm power and water with traders
- Agree waste arrangements with traders
- Schedule crew meals
- Agree when vehicles can move on site
Crew meals are served at set times.
