Taco bar hire in Red Rice, from our food truck or trailer
Our staff set up the taco bar and look after it through service: keeping the fillings hot, warming tortillas and topping up the bowls. Nobody from your side needs to lift a spoon. It suits team socials and engagement parties, serving warm corn and flour tortillas, pickled onions and toppings and fresh salsas.
For a rural spot like Red Rice, a taco bar beside the truck in a field or garden is a simple set-up. Tell us about gates, ground and the distance from the lane, and we’ll confirm power and water with you. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
Popular choices
Vegan fillings
Vegan guests get a proper filling of their own, not an afterthought.
Toppings
Pickled onions, coriander, lime, lettuce and cheese.
Planning the serving area
We will agree the spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- A level area for the taco-bar table
- Room for the bar alongside the vehicle, if booked together
- A clear route from the vehicle to the serving spot
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.
Popular choices
- Salsas and guacamole
- Tortilla chips
- Two to four fillings
- Corn and flour tortillas

Organising for someone else?
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so everyone is served promptly. Let us know how long the break is.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
How the day works
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. Winter evenings in Red Rice close in by about 4:00pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. At midsummer, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:25pm.
- Begin with the date and headcount.
- We agree a menu that covers every diet.
- We fix timings with you and the venue.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- Once service is over, we pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Tell us when you want service to start
