Instructions

1. Research taco trucks and Mexican food catering in the local area through the Internet or phone book. Many taco trucks now use social networking websites like Facebook and Twitter to stay in touch with followers and alert them to each location.

2. Contact a few taco truck owners or managers in person, by phone, through a social networking site or email. Discuss your event plans with them. Many taco trucks have catering packages with a variety of pricing options.

3. Verify the company you choose is indeed available on your date and time and that the catering package works best for your party budget. You can pay for packages several ways: upfront on a per-person basis, per-item basis or per-individual basis. If you opt for the latter, give the taco truck a minimum guarantee.

4. Discuss the event details with the truck owner or manager at least a week prior to ensure your specifications are reflected in the menu. Give the contact a cell phone or other on-site number in the event of any difficulty finding the party.

5. Reserve a parking space for the taco truck before the first guests arrive. Anticipate the length of the lines that will develop and choose an area with sufficient free space. Have the space in the precise area you want the truck set up to serve.
