Taco fever spreads across the UK...

The Trend

The popularity of tacos is on the rise; thanks to a growing number of specialty restaurants who are transforming this traditional Mexican street food dish with a range of innovative toppings, quality ingredients and unusual spices.

And it's that willingness to experiment and push the boundaries of what's possible that is making all the difference. From highly breakable bright yellow half shells, to authentic homemade soft tortillas with unconventional toppings, tacos have been completely revolutionised.

In fact, many trade journals claim that the rise in popularity of the dish can be traced largely to a range of new imaginative fillings that owe little to tacos' traditional mexican flavours. Stuffed inside a soft or hard tortilla, filled with meat or vegetables, topped with cheese or guacamole… the possibilities are endless.

Turkey and Sprinkles?

Taco specialists are no longer limiting their protein options to chicken, beef, pork or white fish; choices now include lamb, octopus, tofu, falafel balls, turkey, seafood and more. Expect to also see a wide variety of sprinkles, sauces and salsas on your plate of tacos and, look out for dessert tacos which we think are total heaven!

If you have already got tacos on your menu or are planning to take advantage of this craze, our selection of serving items will hopefully inspire you to take your presentation to the next level.
