Taco bar catering

A taco bar is the easiest way to make a crowd happy. Everyone builds tacos just the way they like them, and the line keeps moving. That's why our Taquiza Taco Bar is one of our most popular catering packages.

You get asada, carnitas, and chicken, plus Spanish rice, refried pinto beans, corn tortillas, and a spread of onions, cilantro, limes, and house salsas. Flour tortillas are available on request. It starts at 40 guests.

To get an accurate quote, tell us your guest count, event date, rough serving time, and the city of your venue. If you'd like us to set up and keep the trays full, mention that too. Setup, refills, staffing, and full service are quoted separately from the starting package prices.
