A taco party or taco feast, an event where tacos are the main food served. In Mexico, a taquiza is the ultimate catering solution for everything from casual birthday parties to massive weddings. Someone sets up a taco station with a taquero grilling meat, and guests line up to build their own tacos with all the salsas and toppings. It is the Mexican equivalent of a BBQ cookout, except better because it is tacos.
