Taco man?

Sarah, on December 28, 2018 at 6:09 PM Posted in Wedding Reception 0 18
I’m trying to plan an outdoor wedding but I really don’t want to do the basic catering. It’s really not our style. We’re the out of our seats dancing and drinking all night type of couple. Do you think having a taco man at our party would be cheap? Trashy? I want the reception to be a party, celebration. I feel like that or a food truck would fit the whole not being tied to the tables for the coursed meal would fit. What do you ladies think?

    I'm not that sure what a "taco man" is, but I'm assuming it's like a station. How many guests are you having? If this is a made to order kind of situation, I would opt for more than one station so that your guests aren't waiting for long periods of time. I think that or a food truck would be fine, as long as you're going for a very informal reception.

    If it is more of a casual wedding, then I think that is a great idea! We have a taco guy at every party that we can! Lol Assuming they do the same thing ours does. They arrive early and they cook the meat right there. They have warming trays on their tables that keep all the meat hot and freshly grill the tortillas and fill them with whatever meat you choose. They keep cooking meat all night long to keep it fresh. They usually have a side table that has all of the fixings (salsas, sour cream, cabbage, cheese, etc).

    To be honest, I think the taco guy works better than a taco truck. We have been to a few parties where the actual truck came and it was kind of a mess. They would take your order, give you a number, then you had to wait until they called it out. The table seems to run smoother for some reason.

    I think a taco 🌮 truck / food truck would be awesome.

    We are the same and didn’t want traditional catering. I haven’t decided yet but we are either doing a wood fired pizza food truck with pizzas, salads, and a pasta station along with meatballs, or we are going to do food stations including a taco station, pasta station, sliders and mashed potato or tater tot station!

    Nicole just curious if you will have other food besides the wood fired pizzas?? I LOVE the idea of the pizza bar but the guy in my area is only covered (insurance wise) for pizza, so I would have to find someone to co-cater for other items like salads and a pasta and/or appetizers because I don’t want to have only pizza, but I’m having problems finding someone who is willing to co-cater

    Definitely use someone who sets up like a caterer and not one who served out of the truck. Too slow and awkward for the guests. A good taco truck would have this type of set up for parties.

    The company we are using will also do salad and appetizers. We are also doing steamed peel and eat shrimp since we are having a beach wedding.

    That's perfect! My husband's family has two food trucks and a restaurant and they do so many weddings! So fun and totally matches your vibe.

    We ended up having our wedding at a restaurant but a few of our choices were bars/event spaces that were food truck ready.

    Enjoy!

    I love the idea of a food truck. i think it's fun and food truck food is great! plus you can really get something that fits your wedding rather than your standard chicken and fish.
