About the menu
Salsas and guacamole
Guests can add salsa and guacamole to taste, from mild to hot.
Burrito bowls
Bowls suit anyone skipping tortillas, and they’re easy to adapt.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Questions from Lordswood
