I am doing an open house graduation party and it is going to be a taco bar. I have been using your charts in the taco bar and tex mex sites for ideas on quantities. The party is at 3:30 in the afternoon and they are guessing there will be 100 people. The menu consists of: Taco beef Taco chicken Mexican rice Refried beans Nacho cheese dip layered taco dip Churro chex mix Fruit Tray Vegetable Tray
I am planning on the following quantities: |

Erika, the taco/potato bar page has all these items in amounts for 100, you would just double! Button at the top of he man cook alk page. Strongly suggest you add beans for the sake of both the tacos and nachos. About 3 #10 cans per 100, lots of recipes on this site. You can write back. If this is a paid gig or I have saved you time, trouble, or money, please make a donation to support this site. Thank you. |

Wondering what to take into consideration for grad parties when guests have multiple parties to stop in at. Planning on approx100-120 people |

Heather, it depends on how many parties, the menu, and whether you are first, last, or middle. If there are more than two parties, people eat more at the first, only stay about an hour at the middle ones, then longer at he last. In a situation of multiples, you may wan o theme specifically, such as a dessert bar or ice cream party, rather than a full meal. Can you tell me more about your situation? |

Taco Bar Graduation Party 100 people This menu could use some tweaks. For 100 people, too much food, and too many choices, which increases cost and waste.
100 people how much to buy
Taco beef
Fruit tray- fruit tray page. With watermelon and strawberries below, about 1/2 the deluxe tray for 100 would do Bake bean- please consider changing to a western style Ranch or borracho bean, or even refried- goes much better with both the taco meat and he Italian sausage. 3 gallons (4 #10 cans) for 100 or borracho beans this site. MAKE MEATLESS! You don' have any other entree for any non-meat eaers, and there will be some. Macaroni Salad- pounds dry pasta plus addins, some recipes this site. Penne, rigatoni, or bowties hold better the regular macaroni
Chips
Strawberry Whole fresh?quart per 10-12 Pretzel - 6 pounds, some left Congraduation! You can write back. If I have saved you time, trouble, or money, please make a donation, maybe 10-25 per guest, to support the site. |

For 180 people that is more meat than I would plan- 35 beef and 30 chicken is more than enough unless you are skimping the sides. |
