Mexican street food for Wilmington events
Mexican street food in Wilmington, from our truck or trailer
A Mexican food truck pulls a crowd at any outdoor event. People follow the smell of warm tortillas, and orders come out fast from the hatch. At school and charity events and sports clubs and race days, we can serve vegan tacos, burrito bowls and loaded nachos for your guests.
Rural events near Wilmington can be a long way from food outlets, so a hot-food truck is a big help. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

What happens on the day
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can spend time with your guests. Christmas markets in Wilmington trade in the dark from about 3:55pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:15pm.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We send our menu, needs and the documents you ask for.
- 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.
Preparing for the day

Planning help
What affects the price in Wilmington
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- What the venue already provides
- Travel, parking and access
- Timings and hours
- The number of people
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
Details that help
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- A picture of where we’d park
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Expected numbers
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. To send your details, use our quote form.
