Taco wedding

Sydney, on February 11, 2022 at 1:10 PM Posted in Wedding Reception 0 10
So I’ve seen lots of Pinterest taco bars for weddings. I think it’s a great idea. I love tacos. Two of my closest friends told me I probably shouldn’t do the taco bar because -well we all know what Mexican foods can do to our bodies- do you guys think I should consider doing it anyways or have a menu where we won’t be all “uncomfortable”. Some people are different, but I also don’t want people to have to go to the bathroom and feel awkward. I dunno if it will do that to everyone, but it’s better safe than sorry, am I right?

    Dude if i had all the money in the world i would have done an after party that had a taco bar haha.

    i mean you know there's a lot of options you can do with this -

    tacos can be a part of the menu!

    why can't you have it as an appetizer?

    or as one of the meal options?

    or if you're doing stations, one of the stations?

    it doesn't HAVE to be the focal point but if you want to include it then i am sure there can be ways to

    Ooh a late night taco bar after drinking sounds amazing!! Maybe that could be something to look into. That way if people are starting to have stomach issues they can leave?

    People have all kinds of different intolerances, but it doesn’t mean you have to base your whole menu around it. Maybe you could do stations and just have tacos as one of the options? That’s what we did!

    If you love tacos, then serve them. At least from reading online, people hear the word “wedding” and automatically assume that it must be chicken (that is often undercooked in banquet settings which is dangerous) while complaining that it’s the worst food ever that no one likes. If no one likes it, why the intense pressure that you must have it or your wedding won’t be valid? They cancel each other out.



    Your wedding menu should be what you love that appeals to the majority of your guests. If you love one food but you know your guests won’t eat it, then don’t serve it because that is food and money gone to waste.
    I don’t know anyone personally who has physical issues with tacos or Mexican food in general but I do know people who have taste aversions to it. The same applies to anything really. Some people don’t like bbq and others can’t handle the level of spice that is used while others are allergic. Most people will eat whatever you serve with no issues.
    Is it possible to maybe have the tacos as a station in addition to another food or even as a late night snack? I personally love tacos and eat them every opportunity but I can’t get into the soft shells that are the only offerings in some areas, especially where we live with a predominant Hispanic population.

    Sounds like a personal problem they have with taco bell lol. A taco bar can be as fancy or casual as you make it and mystery meat and beans don't have to be a part of it. Chicken and beef fajitas, stewed chicken, ground beef or charbroiled shrimp are good meat choices. You can have spinach, mushroom, and black bean for a vegetarian option. Have both flour and crispy corn tortillas, maybe sides of rice and skip the beans if you want. The toppings are endless. I think the key to making it special is having a variety of fresh and authentic salsas.
    Tell your friends that in San Antonio and Austin, tacos are served regularly to celebraties, diplomats, and politicians at all the fancy banquets and parties. If they can handle it I'm sure your guests can too.☺️🌮🍻

    Yes do a taco bar if that’s what you want! I would be thrilled if someone had tacos at a wedding. Especially since I have so many allergies, I love Mexican food. As long as you have corn tortillas or chips for nachos, it can accommodate just about anyone!

    I also have family who make weird jokes about being on the toilet all night for any kind of non-American food they’re not used to. I would not make your wedding decision based on them. Have tacos. Tacos are the best and I’m having them at my wedding too.

    I'm having a taco bar at our cocktail hour! I never really thought about this, I guess I didn't realize this was even a thing. Maybe because of the beans? If so, you can just skip those. However, I see this effecting a very small group of people, if any, and they can always skip it. Just make sure you have other options available. If it's something you want, you should do it!

    We are doing a taco bar for our wedding - mostly because we have family who owns a taco catering biz and we are getting a deal.

    It's a "know your audience" kind of thing though. I know that pretty much everyone we invited would be cool with tacos.
