Mexican food ideas for the reception?

mymy4 · January 2013

My fiance and I have decided that we want to serve authentic mexican food, his mother is going to do most of it. We are just having a hard time finding something simple yet elegant. Not just like your basic backyard bbq... any suggestions?

How many people are you serving? How will you keep foods at the proper temperature. This is a large feat to ask of the MOG and the family.

we did a traditional mexican food wedding.

Appetizers:

Beef Taquitos
Ceviche served with chips and tortillas
various non mexican food items

Dinner

Pork Chile Verde
Chicken Mole
Spinach and cheese quesadillas
Rice

Tortillas

We aren't fans of tres leches cake, so we served a simple cake with buttercream frosting.

2 different Agua frescas
Sangria (white and red)
with other softdrinks
