The star of the show, tacos! A well-constructed taco bar provides endless customization possibilities, ensuring something for everyone. Here are some enticing options to get your taste buds tingling.
- Carne Asada Tacos–Â Thinly sliced, marinated grilled steak bursting with savory flavor. This is a taco option that you can never go wrong with. It goes well with any salsa and any toppings, its even delicious on its own.
- Pollo Asado Tacos–Â Juicy, marinated grilled chicken offering a lighter protein option. The chicken is grilled to perfection, every bite is juicy and tender. I enjoy eating the chicken tacos with a milder salsa so I can appreciate the taste of the chicken.
- Spicy Potato Tacos– A delicious vegetarian alternative with yellow bell peppers, red bell peppers, red onion, jalapeños, and potato. It is grilled to perfection and then topped off with some seasoning. The jalapeños give it a nice kick of spice.
These are just a few taco options, and you can add more options based on your preferences or dietary needs. Consider ordering more or adding another option if you plan on having the family or friends over. Its always better to have extra than to run out of food, especially tacos.
Toppings and Sides
Beyond the fillings, the true magic lies in the plethora of flavors created by the toppings and sides. Here’s where you can truly personalize your taco bar and embrace the festive spirit:
Toppings

- Limes: A squeeze of fresh lime elevates the flavors and adds a refreshing touch.
- Green Salsa: A classic choice, offering a mild and tangy flavor profile.

Premium sides include quesadillas, nopales asados, guacamole, grilled spring onions, esquite, and chiles toreados. The quesadillas are a perfect addition especially if you would like to have meat inside it, a plain cheese quesadillas is perfect for the kids. Guacamole is a major game changer, not only is avocado delicious but also nutritious. You can’t go wrong with Guacamole, it goes perfect with anything and can even just have chips and guac.
Sides include spanish rice,  A classic accompaniment, offering fluffy carbs and a mild flavor that complements the tacos perfectly. Refried Beans, creamy and satisfying, providing additional protein and texture. They are also 100% vegan. Homemade Tortilla Chips Freshly made add a delightful crunch and allow guests to create their own mini-tacos. You can always make yourself custom food options like maybe carne asada nachos. Just serve yourself as much chips as you want or you can eat on a plate, add beans a bit of rice, a couple portions of carne asada, and then your favorite toppings.
A Touch of Tradition. Aguas Frescas and More
Embrace the cultural heritage of tacos by offering refreshing and authentic beverages like aguas frescas. These naturally sweet and flavorful drinks are a perfect complement to the spicy and savory elements of the tacos. Here are some popular options:
- Jamaica (Hibiscus)- A vibrant red drink made from hibiscus flowers, offering a tart and refreshing taste.
- Horchata-Â A creamy and slightly sweet beverage made with rice, almonds, and cinnamon.
- Limonada (Lemonade)-Â A classic thirst quencher, perfect for those who prefer a familiar and refreshing option.
For a truly festive touch, consider offering a margarita bar. Margaritas come in various flavors and can be tailored to your preferences, whether you prefer them classic, frozen, or with a fruity twist. You can always just get some of the agua fresca and spike it or make one flavor like lemonade. All you need is the tequila of your choice.
To ensure your taco catering goes off without a hitch, consider these logistical aspects. Discuss delivery and set-up options with the catering service in advance. Consider factors like table rentals, serving utensils, and waste disposal. While tacos are easy to eat, it’s essential to estimate portion sizes correctly. Consider the number of guests, their appetites, and the variety of available options, having food leftover is way better than running out of food. If using a catering service, ensure they have proper equipment to keep the food warm throughout the event. At Njoy tacos the food stays warm on the cart so it can be 100% fresh. Be mindful of any dietary restrictions among your guests and have options that cater to vegetarians, vegans, or those with allergies.
