Taco bar hire in Rochester Riverside, from our food truck or trailer
Our staff set up the taco bar and look after it through service: warming tortillas, keeping fillings hot and refilling the salsas as they go. Your hosts can stay with their guests. We serve burrito bowls, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and guacamole, and it suits engagement and anniversary parties and wedding meals.
In and around Rochester Riverside, a taco bar works beside the truck or in a hall nearby. Where access is tight, the truck stays nearby and the station goes where your guests are, as long as we can unload within a short walk. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Hot fillings
Slow-cooked fillings kept hot on the bar, perhaps chicken tinga, birria or carnitas.
Guacamole
No taco bar is complete without guacamole, so we keep it topped up.
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 enjoy the party, let us serve.
