It works well for weddings, day or evening and garden get-togethers, serving fresh salsas and guacamole, tacos and burrito bowls.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.

It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up our truck or trailer, and get on with serving.
