How the day works
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. A photo of the space helps. Around midsummer it stays light in Chesterton until about 9:30pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is typically served in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Share a few details about the event.
- We send a sample spread and a quote.
- Access, power and water are agreed beforehand.
- We set up the station and keep everything hot.
- Afterwards, we pack down and leave the area tidy.
How to prepare
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park

Should I do it myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Catering for every guest
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Confirm any allergies to us by email
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Include a vegan filling on the bar
We get there early enough to unload, lay out the table and heat everything through.
Ask us about plates, napkins and cutlery and we will confirm what’s possible in your quote.

Common questions in Chesterton
Do you come out to small places like Chesterton?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Mary: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t generally stop service from the truck or trailer. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Is the food very hot?
It’s up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Our truck and trailer service generally suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers.
