I need Taco/Fajita bar/buffet pics. Update~Vegetarians: I need your help

Blair, on May 24, 2012 at 9:40 AM Posted in Community Conversations 0 31

It looks as though my caterer and I had a miscommunication. When I told her my plan she thought I meant that i wanted something super simple like ground beef and lettuce and then still a full buffet set up of roast chicken, roasted veggies, mashed potatoes. We want a full out taco bar with a ton of options and thats it. I got my ideal menu together for her but i want some inspiration pics to show her what im envisioning. I googled it and came up with a few but i wanted to see if anyone had anything different.

    Oh no! Thank goodness you were able to find that out now and can get it sorted out!

    I found this pic on pinterest. It's a salad bar but I bet it could be done for a taco set up as well.

    ooh I sent my pic at the same time as your menu was sent. perhaps my pic is on a much smaller scale! The dishes that everything is in are pretty cute though.

    I would love to be at your wedding! Both FH and I are huge taco fans.

    Hopefully you and your caterer can work it out so it looks amazing.

    Hey vegeterians~what you put on your tacos, taco salads, fajitas? Do I need more than:

    Corn, 2 types of beans, bell peppers, onions, lettuce, all the norms?

    I think you are good with the 2 types of beans and other fixings for vegetarians. Beans is a great alternative.

    If I'm doing vegetarian burritos/tacos/enchiladas I usually do a mix of bell pepper, onion and mushroom. Then all the other toppings can go on after that (lettuce, tomato, avocado, cheese, sour cream). I would also add mexican rice. It's a good filler in addition to the beans.

    We are having a taco bar as well, and our caterer suggested vegetarian chili as a vegetarian option. He made it for us and it was yummy!
