If you’ve chosen a taco bar, the fillings, salsas and toppings go out on a serving table, and guests help themselves.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
