DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
How our Mexican catering works in Lilyvale
A build-your-own taco bar is one of the most sociable ways to feed a crowd. Everyone builds their own tacos from what’s laid out, so nobody ends up with something they don’t want. It suits family gatherings and christenings and markets and community events, serving tacos, burritos and loaded nachos.
For a rural spot like Lilyvale, fields and drives need a little planning: gate widths, soft ground and the distance from the road all matter. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements with you. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our truck or trailer.
For event organisers in Lilyvale
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so everyone is served promptly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can check the date.
