What’s better than that? One of the hardest things to figure out when throwing a party is what to cook when everyone has different preferences, so why not make something that can accommodate everyone? Tacos are the perfect item to serve, as you can have multiple different trays of fillers (such as chicken, beef, fish, etc) and toppings so everyone can make a taco that really fits their specific likings.

2.) Tacos are cheap which makes it easy to feed a large group of people

Make it Buffet style! Most of the ingredients that go in tacos come in large quantities (such as large bags of cheese, pack of tortillas, ect) which makes it easy to make numerous tacos for a very low price.

3.) Tacos pair EXCELLENT with alcohol

A party without its alcohol is like a taco without its beef. It just doesn’t work. Parties almost always go hand in hand with drinking, so why not combine it with a food that would enhance the overall experience. Tacos are a great option when it comes to pairing food and alcohol and work best with fun drinks such as tequila and margaritas.

4.) Tacos are much healthier than most traditional party foods

Tacos are a very healthy food option that would not only bring intense juicy flavors into your life but also keep the calorie count quite low. Tacos often contain chicken, fish, or steak, with delicious toppings such as lettuce, pico de gallo, tomatoes, peppers, etc that hold vibrant colors and flavors to guide you right to flavor town.

Taco diets have become a more prominent trend recently that have even caught the attention of celebrities like Jennifer Aniston who claim it is the secret to a healthier lifestyle.

5.) Tacos are fun, social, and hands on food

As a taco fanatic myself, I know from experience that tacos make for an incredible party. Tacos really change the mood and create a fun and engaging atmosphere. Just the idea of tacos can put people in a good mood as they are so full of flavor and truly make for a wonderful experience every time you take a bite. They allow people to grab and go, and travel around a party while enjoying the meal. This creates a social and content environment that is impossible to have a bad time in.
