taco bar enough food?

If you do taco bar there needs to be plenty of food!! And please please please have appetizers! I recently went to one and its was not impressive to say the very least.

Personally depending on how may guests you have I would say a taco bar would be fine and a few appetizers. If you have a lot of people that means more picky eaters so maybe include a little more.

My first opinion is it's YOUR wedding so do what you want! Maybe some type of meatless Mexican rice for the tacos for the vegetarians. Are you doing just beef tacos or chicken too? There are so many options for taco bars! Salsa, queso, dips, etc. I think you will be fine. Again, it's YOUR wedding! It's to celebrate YOU and YOUR FH!

@Sparky_B - oops i worded it wrong, i would definitely have appetizers no matter what!

@futuremrspolver- were expecting less than 70 people. thats a good point.

@Margo- yes we plan on having, steak, chicken, veggies, rice, chips, salsa, beans, guacamole, lettuce, sour cream and anything else that can go on a taco haha.

I think it's good, just make sure you have more then enough

@Mary Lynn- thank you for your response. i think we'll stick with the full menu. as long as i have my tacos then i guess it doesnt matter what my MIL wants to add :-P

I don't think you have enough, but that's because I don't eat tacos at all.

Are you thinking like a "taco man"? They are super budget friendly, delicious and affordable!

Taco bar is plenty!!!! Keep it simple!

We're doing a taco bar which includes hard and soft chicken and beef tacos, chicken fajitas and quesadillas. there will be all the fixings included. for our cocktail hour our caterer is setting up a nice veggie tray, a huge nacho table with sides and 2 appetizers. i think that should be enough, we have a semi small guest list.

What does your caterer suggest? They would be able to tell you how much would be enough for the number of people you are expecting.

No offense but the menu your FMIL suggest seems a little all over the place. A taco bar, fried chicken, and roast beef?

Is your MIL willing to pay for these other options?

If she is, why not take her up on that? Because, to be honest, I'd be okay with a taco. I'd be THRILLED with a taco, a nice piece of fried chicken, a couple of salads and a baked potato.

I personally don't think a taco bar on its own is enough. It seems very skimpy to be honest. I think you MIL is right and you should consider additional options.

Also, Margo is wrong. It not just YOUR wedding when you are inviting other people. The reception is for guests so it's important to feed them well!

We are doing tacos!

2 types of tacos (dos equis fish, and pulled chicken tacos)

Salad

Mexican street corn on the cob Spanish style rice

Black beans

3 types of guac

Smoke queso

Chips

Then late night snack of smores.

If you can afford it, it would be good to have some non-taco options. Hard to believe, but not everyone likes tacos.

That sounds amazing.

I am so hungry right now

I'd go for non-taco options as well. Granted, this might have been self-catered, but a wedding with a taco bar I recently attended was...less than impressive.

Keep in mind also that tacos are quite messy.

Would I side-eye a taco bar ... absolutely not, I love tacos. Not everyone is a taco fan though, I would definitely add other options. I assume your plan is to do a buffet, people will most likely take a little of everything to try - I know I do when I attend weddings that have a buffet. I am on your FMIL's side, I think you should add other offerings.

I am having a taco bar essentially. We will have 2 meats a ton of veggies, chips salsa, guac, queso. We have 75 ppl so I'd say you'll have plenty depending how many ppl. Be careful with too much food, what you listed doesn't really go together but as long as guests have a full stomach it'll be alright!

More food is better. Keep in mind people will be dancing meaning even more hungry. I went to one wedding where wasn't enough food and it was tacky
