Should I do it myself?
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.
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.
What’s on the menu
Quesadillas
Crisp quesadillas, cut into wedges.
Build-your-own taco bar
Everything for tacos, laid out for guests to help themselves.
Planning for every diet
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Let the neighbours know
- Check the width of your gate or drive
- Give separate numbers for children
- Plan a covered spot for wet weather
If it rains, we can still serve from the truck or trailer, but plan a gazebo or indoor space for eating.
Burrito bowls for guests who skip tortillas.
- Served from our truck or trailer at your venue, garden or event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information
- Tacos and taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas
