This will be the fifth annual Cinco de Mayo party my son has held. We aren't Mexican, we dont even have a Mexican mowing our lawn Cinco de Mayo is just a good excuse for the first outdoor patio party of the year.
In the past the menu has been tamales for three years till the tamale connection quit making them. Last year it was Fajitas but his Fajita girl moved away last month so he has this decision to make.
Buy tamales from another place. 8 dozen cost approx. $65. 8 dozen should feed 15.
Make Enchiladas. 5 dozen should feed 15, cost approx. $35.
Make your own Tacos. Meat, Taco shells, cheese, lettuce, tomato, sour cream, salsa. Cost approx $35.
Invent the Cinco De Mayo hot dog. Hot dogs, buns, mustard, ketchup, chopped onion, pico de gallo, cheese, maybe chili. Cost approx $30.
Add Queso dip, salsa dip, chips and Mexican beer, turn on the Margarita machine and it's a party.
Which looks most appealing? Tamales, most expensive but least work. Dogs cheapest and not much work. Enchiladas and tacos a bit more work and may add beans with Enchiladas.
