How our taco bar hire works in Mackney
Add burrito bowls, loaded nachos or quesadillas if you’d like more choice. Our drinks bar can be booked with it too, with licensing checked with you. It suits leaving and retirement parties and anniversary parties, with slow-cooked fillings kept hot, a build-your-own taco bar and burrito bowls.
Near Mackney, a taco bar next to the truck in a field or garden works well. Tell us about gates, ground and the distance from the lane, and we’ll confirm power and water with you. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

Why us?
- Served fresh from our truck or trailer
- Fast service, even with a queue
- A menu agreed with you
- A quote that sets out what’s included

How it works
Once service is over, we pack up and leave our area tidy. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. Evenings in Mackney stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:10pm. Once it gets dark, guests need to see what they’re adding to their tacos.
- Start with the essentials: the date, venue, headcount and diets.
- We plan the fillings and toppings with you and quote for them.
- We agree where the table goes and where our vehicle can unload.
- On the day our staff lay out the bar and keep it stocked while guests build their tacos.
- After the last tacos, we clear the station away.

Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will suggest mild options.

Do you do margaritas?
Yes. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food. For alcohol, we will check the licensing with you and your venue.
