Thriving & Well Loved Mexican Street Food Trailer Business – Fully Mobile

Thriving & Well-Loved Mexican Street Food Trailer Business –

Fully Mobile with Established Brand Presence Across Sussex

 An exciting opportunity to acquire a highly successful and much-loved Mexican street food business, currently based in Worthing, West Sussex. With a strong presence across East and West Sussex, the business operates from a fully equipped, eye-catching taco trailer that attends regular events, private functions, weddings, and secured pitches at popular venues. Established five years ago, the business has grown into a recognised and trusted brand, known for its bold, vibrant branding and fun, inviting atmosphere. The mobile unit serves a high-quality, flavour-packed Mexican menu that continues to delight customers and generate loyal repeat business. Thanks to its distinctive branding and visually appealing trailer, it regularly attracts attention and stands out at any event. A key strength of the business is its strong digital presence, including a large social media following and an integrated website with an online shop—ensuring strong customer engagement and additional revenue potential. Importantly, the business occupies a niche in the market with very little direct competition, offering a distinct edge and room for expansion.

With demand steadily increasing, the business regularly receives enquiries for private bookings, corporate events, and collaborations, yet still operates on limited hours—leaving significant scope to scale further. Turnover has grown substantially in the last 12 months, reflecting its momentum and popularity. Whether you’re an entrepreneur looking to enter the street food scene or an established operator seeking a new brand with a strong identity and proven success, this is a standout opportunity with huge growth potential.

THE PREMISES: This fully equipped, double wheel-base food trailer is presented in excellent condition and has recently undergone a comprehensive service. Designed for maximum flexibility and mobility, the trailer can operate via mains electricity or generator, with gas powered by cylinders and water supplied through portable tanks—making it ideal for both static pitches and event-based trading. The trailer comes with a full inventory of high-quality fixtures and fittings, all included in the sale. Key equipment includes a single fryer, two contact grill, two ovens, a stainless-steel salad bar and multiple fridges —ensuring a smooth and efficient service setup. Additionally, the sale includes wooden bench seating to accommodate up to 18 guests, enhancing the customer experience at events and pop-up locations. Currently, the vendors utilise a separate commercial kitchen for food prep, providing further capacity to handle larger events or high-volume trading. This is a turnkey opportunity for someone looking to enter or expand within the thriving street food scene with a stylish and operationally ready unit.

TURNOVER:  The business is currently owner-operated on a full-time basis, supported by one part-time team member. Trading hours are currently 2-3 sessions per weeks, which typically run from 5pm to 9pm, across a variety of popular pitches throughout East and West Sussex. In addition to its regular locations, the business enjoys a steady stream of bookings for private events, weddings, and festivals—many of which are already confirmed for the remainder of 2025. The business is performing well, generating an average annual net profit of approximately £35,000, and has built a strong local following and excellent reputation. There is substantial potential for further growth by extending trading hours, accepting additional event bookings, or even launching a second trailer to capitalise on the brand’s popularity. This is an exciting opportunity for a new owner to scale an already thriving and in-demand street food concept.
