Mexican street food or something else?
For crew catering, sandwiches are easy but uninspiring. A hot burrito or taco bowl keeps crew going. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed in your quote.

Popular choices
Tacos
Street tacos suit a festival crowd.
Loaded nachos
Sharing nachos go down well.
Can I do a taco night 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 works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
