About our Mexican street food in Widley
The menu is agreed with organisers, with fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, plus a vegan option such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. We serve burritos, burrito bowls and vegan tacos, and it suits fundraisers and fêtes and crew and volunteer catering.
A fête near Widley might be on a field with no mains power; let us know and we will confirm the arrangements. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
What affects the price in Widley
The price comes down to a few factors:
- What the venue already provides
- The menu you choose
- The number of people
- Travel, parking and access
There is no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican street food. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.

Catering for every guest
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included. To make it work smoothly:
- Plan seating near the food area
- Ensure the line-up includes vegan and gluten-free options
- Give traders a single information pack
- Check traders’ packaging and waste plans
We keep in touch with your traders’ contact on the day on any changes.
Nachos for groups.
Can I do a taco night myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Planning the serving area
We serve from a truck or trailer, so where we park matters. Here’s what we look for:
- Room for the truck or trailer and customers
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding
- Clear information on power, water and waste
