Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
What happens on the day
Here’s how the day usually runs: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. By late September, sunset in Hackney comes at roughly 7:05pm, so margaritas after that will be served under lights. In late May, it stays light until about 8:50pm.
- We check availability.
- We suggest margaritas, beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free choices.
- We confirm power, water and the bar spot.
- We set up and serve on cue.
- We tidy up at the end.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Find out what power and water are available
