    When to book

    Aim to ask by Wednesday, August 4, 2027

    September and October are peak outdoor-event months in the region. Six weeks ahead keeps the most dates open; inside that, ask anyway.

    A suggestion based on roughly 6 weeks of notice, not a deadline. Nothing is booked until you confirm.

    Hispanic Heritage Month

    A food truck for Hispanic Heritage Month.

    National Hispanic Heritage Month starts on September 15, the independence day of Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua, with Mexico and Chile following on September 16 and 18. The region’s large Salvadoran, Guatemalan and other Central American communities make it a busy month of events.

    We are not a Latin American restaurant, and we will not pretend to be one. We are a halal street-food truck whose menu happens to include street tacos, quesadillas, platanos and churros, which suits a heritage-night crowd alongside burgers and fries for the kids.

    Planning tips

    • The month overlaps with back-to-school nights and fall festivals, so pin your date early.
    • Mid-October evenings turn cool; plan lighting for night events.
    • Pay-your-own works well for public events; a hosted tab suits ERG lunches.
