Taco bar hire in Compton, served fresh
Our truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests, while smaller parties are quoted case by case. Share your headcount and we’ll size the taco bar to match. It works well for anniversary parties and leaving dos, with guacamole, fresh salsas and burrito bowls.
In a small place like Compton, a taco bar might go in a garden, a barn or a nearby hall. If lanes or soft ground stop the truck getting close, the station can be set up nearer your guests, as long as we can unload within a short walk. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

Warm tortillas
Soft corn and flour tortillas, kept warm so there is always one ready. The corn ones suit gluten-free guests.
Salsas
Guests add as much heat as they like.
Planning for every diet
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Have tables and seats ready for guests to eat at
- Send us allergy details in writing

- Choose at least one vegan filling
If speeches or timings run over, we keep the fillings hot and start when you are ready.
Our truck or trailer can serve later in the day, after the taco bar.
