Has anyone had a taco bar at their reception?

I’m doing this my welcome dinner that I expect around 50 people at! I actually just had a taco bar at work for a lunch party for 80 people and it was totally fine! It took a little while to get everyone through the line but people are adults and can use their patience.

I think that's a great idea. As long as your caterer keeps the tortillas and other ingredients fresh sounds yummy and fun!

I’ve attended a small wedding reception that actually had a taco bar and i thought it was great! It was also self serve.

My best friend had a build-your-own taco bar at her wedding. It was fantastic. There were enough options so that it could appease everyone - vegetarian, dairy free, gluten free, etc. We didn't have the station being supervised.

Thanks guys! This is giving me more confidence in the taco bar idea, especially having it be self-serve! Yay!

We haven't had ours yet, but we're doing a taco bar. The venue does it all the time and it's self serve. We have some gluten/dairy free people on our list (like severe allergies) so we just have to make sure things aren't touching, but other than that it should be great. I actually didn't want to do a Friday reception, but when the venue coordinator said we could do tacos Friday but not Saturday I was sold lol!

Great idea Rosie! If it is outside, depending on your location, March shouldn't be too bad for all the yummiest taco fixings! It is a great option for vegetarian guests as well!

Your reception idea made me think of a great WeddingWire article:

Id be afraid that it could get messy

My area has a lot of humidity, so hard shell tacos would get soggy here. My wedding is coming up in March as well, and we're following a similar idea with a potato and salad bar. Tacos sound great, as long as the ingredients can be kept hot and any toppings kept cold!
