Choosing Mexican food for a gathering
When you are feeding a group, the best menu is one your guests can enjoy and you can serve comfortably. Start with the kind of gathering you are having, then choose a few dishes that work together.
Three ways to build the meal
The catering menu offers items by the dozen, including tacos, enchiladas, tamales, and taquitos. These are useful options to discuss when you want to choose a fixed number of pieces. Rice, beans, and salads are listed separately, so include them in the conversation about portions.
A taco bar offers a different format: guests build their plates from the selected fillings and accompaniments. By-the-pound choices include carnitas, chicken breast in red sauce, and carne asada. Ask how those quantities translate to your planned meal rather than treating a pound or a dozen as a guaranteed guest count.
