Planning food for a Cinco de Mayo gathering

A Cinco de Mayo gathering can be as simple as friends around a table with a few dishes to share. Set the size and timing of the meal first, then choose the food. A clear plan leaves more of the evening for your guests.

Decide what kind of meal you are hosting

Will people sit down together, or eat as they arrive? A meal with a fixed serving time is different from an open house. Tell the catering team how your gathering will work when you ask about portions.

The catering menu includes tacos and enchiladas by the dozen, tamales, rice, beans, and salads. Choose a small group of dishes that makes sense together rather than trying to include everything.

A holiday date needs a current answer

Check availability for your celebration before committing to the food plan. If you have saved a holiday package or promotion from a previous year, ask whether it still applies.
