About the menu
Burritos
Burritos are hearty festival food.
Quesadillas
Popular with children.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can check the date.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
