Mexican street food in Yelsted
How our Mexican street food works in Yelsted
Our food is easy to eat standing up or on the grass, which suits festival crowds. It suits festivals and outdoor cinema and theatre nights, with tacos, quesadillas and vegan tacos.
At a fête or field event near Yelsted, a truck or trailer brings hot food to a rural site. Ground conditions and access matter, so tell us about them. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
Space, access and the venue
We serve from a truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- A pitch big enough for the truck or trailer and a queue
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding
- The event’s site rules and timings
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

Prices and what affects them
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- How long we are needed on site
- How many staff you need
- How many guests we are serving
- Food, drinks or both
Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- A picture of the space, if it is a garden or field
- The date and time of the event
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, tell us about it on our contact page.
Can I do a taco night myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Organising for someone else?
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Why choose Mexican street food in Yelsted?
Burger and hot dog stalls are familiar but similar. Tacos add something different. Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you can choose what you need.

- We set up in the agreed window.
- Orders are served from the hatch while the event runs.
- We pack down and tidy the pitch.
