Mexican dishes

You are planning a Thanksgiving that the family will remember forever!
Instead of serving the typical holiday meal of ham and turkey, you have made reservations with to serve a Mexican catering menu to your family. The fact that your mom has always started serving turkey and all of the fixings nearly every weekend since the beginning of October means that you are certain that the Mexican catering menu will be a welcome change from all of the stuffing, the cranberries, and the too quick to congeal gravy.
For many Americans, the months of November and December are full of traditional meals that are loaded with both calories and memories. If you are looking for a way to lighten things up this year, you might consider changing at least one meal to a tasty group of Mexican dishes.
Casual Catering and Event Catering Both Rely on a Great Menu
Whether you are planning for a holiday meal or a big party to celebrate an engagement or a retirement, finding the right caterer is essential. In fact, caterers are so important that many event planners and brides book the plans for the meal before moving on with any other plans they need to make.
