Debating on whether you should offer your guests a late night snack?

Based on all these smiling faces enjoying a last bite and dance says it all!

Lindsay and Zach wanted something fun and easy for guests to enjoy while on the go so Walking Tacos were the perfect treat to close out the night.

Some of our favorite late night bites include:
🥨 Pretzels or Pretzel Nuggets with Queso & Toppings
🍕 Pizza or Flatbread...we have many versions!
🌮 Tacos, Walking Tacos, or Nachos
🌭 Skyline Chili Dogs...for those that like to add a little local treat to their event

Our team will help you find the perfect fun snack to end your night!
