The menu, item by item
Salsas and guacamole
Salsas go on the side, so guests choose the heat.
Tacos
Tacos are easy party food. You choose the fillings with us.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.

As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
