Spicy vegetarian wraps could be rolling into Penryn after councillors supported a proposal for a new Mexican street food van at Challenger Marine on Kernick Industrial Estate.
The town council supported the application by Ashley Holland for a street trading licence to sell home made burritos and nachos, including breakfast burritos, three days a week from her classic 1952 Citroen van.
Miss Holland, who already has a licence to sell food on the Moor in Falmouth during markets and as part of the street food collective 'Moorish', has undertaken to provide rubbish bins and remove all trade waste from the Kernick site, which is owned by town councillor John Langan.
Supporting the application, Councillor Ted Wilkes said: "It's a good thing we have got traders around the industrial estate. Best of luck to them."
Councillor Martin Mullins said someone selling Mexican street food would introduce "different cultures" and the applicants "should be encouraged."
Councillor Mary May supported the application but said Miss Holland needed to keep on top of any litter problem, while Councillor Shelley Peters supported it after being assured the applicant had all the relevant food safety certification.
