Popular choices include warm corn and flour tortillas, guacamole and a build-your-own taco bar, which works well for evening wedding receptions and team socials.

Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Ensure one filling is vegan
- Check where our vehicle can unload

- Make sure guests have somewhere to sit
We warm tortillas in batches and keep the fillings hot, so the bar stays fresh from the first plate to the last.
Burrito bowls sit well on the bar for anyone avoiding tortillas.

Taco bar hire or something else?
The difference between a taco bar and truck service is who builds the taco. From the truck, we put each order together; at the bar, guests build their own. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can feel generous.
