Make Your Cinco De Mayo Taco Party One For The Ages

Five words that can brighten anyone’s day: “Cinco de Mayo” and “Taco Party.”

70% of Americans celebrate Cinco de Mayo, which makes it a great occasion for an employee or client appreciation event, a business grand opening, engagement party, rehearsal dinner, baby shower, and really an excuse to gather and enjoy great tacos. 

It’s time to dive in and share tips on how to make your Cinco de Mayo taco party one for the ages.

Roll In A Food Truck

To get a sense of the popularity of food trucks, consider this statistic: food truck establishments ballooned from 3,281 in 2013 to 5,970 in 2018. It’s fair to say that food trucks are not a fad or trend but a mainstay, which makes them a hit for any event, let alone Cinco de Mayo. 

Tacos + Food Truck + Cinco de Mayo = A Deliciously Good Time.

If you want to wow your partygoers, have a taco food truck pull up and offer the fun experience of walking up to a window and ordering made-to-order tacos, sides, desserts, and drinks. 

Chicago Food Truck Hub works with clients to create custom menus for a range of taco catering options.

Give Them A Taquiza Experience

They say that we taste with our eyes first, and watching our favorite ingredients being prepared right in front of us certainly whets the appetite, as do the sound and aromas of sizzling and popping meats and vegetables. 

This is exactly what the taquiza experience offers – a traditional way of having tacos prepared with on-site staff and catering. Our team sets up a mobile taco cart station with a grill and fresh food for you to enjoy.

Catered Taco Bar

Why not bring the taco party inside? A catered taco bar, perfect for indoor events, is a made-to-order setup that can be either self-service or, more often, an orderly staffed taco bar buffet so that the tacos are made and served on-site by a professional team. The beauty of a taco bar is that you can make it your own, selecting specific proteins and sides for a customized experience.

Quench Their Thirst

It’s not a Cinco de Mayo party without the traditional drinks, is it?

Nothing complements tacos better than the perfect beverage to wash them down. 

The Food Truck Hub offers popular Mexican beers and made-to-order margaritas - straight or frozen - as well as a wide selection of specialty drinks, including Mexican Coca-Cola, Jarritos Mexican sodas, and horchata, a favorite that combines rice, water, milk, vanilla, sugar, and cinnamon, and is exquisitely flavorful.

All Of The Above!

Lest you think that the above services are mutually exclusive, you are mistaken! Not only can these experiences be coupled together for your party, but Chicago Food Truck Hub can also spice it up and take your celebration to another level by incorporating unique balloon designs, providing color-coordinated linens, and arranging for a mariachi band or DJ to perform. Take a look at some inspiration and ideas for your next taco fiesta celebration!
