Why Tacos are the perfect party treat

Tacos are the original portable party snack. The simple taco has a versatile utility, you can deep fry it to make tortilla chips, lightly toast to create quesadillas, or add grilled meat for carne asada. Here are some reasons why you should choose tacos for your next party.

Pick Up and Go

Nothing says party food like being able to easily pick up and eat it without fuss or mess. Both hard and soft shelled tacos pack a lot of flavour into a small, portable tortilla. You can be anywhere, doing anything - and still be able to scoff down a taco.

Novelty

Add a bit of excitement to your party with the novelty of a taco truck. From the enchanting aromas to watching the tacos being made, you can do a lot to spice up a party. You’ll have people inviting themselves to your event to get one!

Choice

Fussy eaters are often a nuisance for party planners to contend with, but the mighty taco offers a solution. Because the ingredients you can put in a taco are essentially limitless, it means that you can customise and tweak them so your guests are sure to get something they’ll like. The more popular meats include beef and chicken, with sauces and garnishes such as cheddar cheese and condiments like guacamole. Vegetarian and vegan tacos are also easy with avocado and sweet potato being popular options.

Community

Tacos evoke a sense of community and togetherness. No - really, they do. Just imagine all of your guests sitting around the table chatting away, discussing what to put in their tacos. Then imagine beautifully made tacos brought in on giant platters to serve your hungry attendees - yeah, you get the idea. 

Catering

Compared to more complex dishes, tacos are fairly quick (and entertaining) to prepare, and the benefits don’t stop there! Mexican cuisine is especially healthy and varied in terms of ingredients, so you can cater for those guests that want a spicy kick and ones who want something more mild. No separate menu or food truck required.

Fun Flavours

While tacos might be all the rage in Mexico and America, they’re not eaten quite as much here in the UK. Making your party something special goes a long way to making it memorable, and  nothing adds more to a party atmosphere than unique - unforgettable food. 

Heritage

As well as tasting divine, tacos are steeped in rich culinary heritage - and that’s likely to be a topic of conversation amongst your guests. Exploring traditional Mexican classics and modern fusion recipes can give your guests some exceptional flavours from all corners of the world.
