Planning the serving area
We’ll be honest if a space will not work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
- Vehicle access near the bar
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we offer
- Agua de jamaica (hibiscus)
- Fruit aguas frescas
- Soft drinks
- Horchata
- Mexican beer
- Margaritas
Should I do it myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
