We eat tacos all the time, but what do we know about the history of this delicious Mexican dish?

Tostadas are the most flavorful combination of Mexican ingredients, but these savory sensations can sure make a mess! Just how do you eat a tostada without losing your ingredients or making a mess?

Mexican cuisine is incredibly popular around the world because of its bold and vibrant flavors. When ordering catering, customers should not only think about taste and quality—they must also consider other crucial aspects like service and how accommodating caterers are when it comes to dietary requirements and restrictions.

Nachos are pure comfort. It’s a dish that has a little bit of everything, salt, crunch, cheese, and spice. This dish has it all, but what can you do with the leftovers?

Cheesy, crunchy, spicy nachos are everyone’s favorite snack. Nachos hit all the flavor notes you want from a savory dish, plus they have the perfect crunch, but where did they come from? Who was the culinary genius that gave us the delicious dish of nachos!?

Tacos are one of the most versatile food options because they’re good for almost any occasion or gathering. They’re affordable and almost anyone can eat them. If you have vegetarians or vegans who are guests, it’s easy to substitute the meat with vegan options. But how many tacos should you ask your catering service to prepare?

Nothing says party like tacos! Tacos are easy and let attendees customize them with salsa, beans, rice, and all the other fixings. They are great if your team has different dietary preferences (i.e., Vegan or Gluten Free), and at Taco Ocho, we have plenty of options for everyone.

Cinco de Mayo is a holiday that celebrates the date of the Mexican army’s 1862 victory over France. Celebrate every year with Tacos & Margs!

At Taco Ocho, we have three vegan brunch items in Flower Mound, Richardson, McKinney, and Frisco.

Taco Tuesday. It’s not a national holiday, because it happens weekly. But if it happened once a year it would totally be! Most mexican restaurants all over the country have some sort of taco special on Tuesday. And at Taco Ocho we totally have you covered on Taco Tuesday too at our locations in Richardson, Frisco and Flower Mound.

We get asked lots of times what a Torta is, and we tell our customers to think of it as a Mexican Sandwich or a taco in sandwich form. If you look up what a Torta is on Wikipedia it has a lot of different meanings depending on country. For example in Spain the word torta is used for sweet cakes. But in good old Mexico, a Torta is a Sandwich. Those are the Tortas we have at Taco Ocho. We sell Torta’s because they are a super good and really filling.

When I opened the third Taco Ocho in Flower Mound, I wanted to make sure we had a larger bar area. The other Taco Ocho’s, really don’t have a large bar area for customers just to come and relax and meet other locals.

So the bar idea worked out pretty well at Flower Mound, and we have regular customers that come in and it’s good to know these customers on a more personal level. It is nice to see them come in weekly.

Anyway if you have been to the Flower Mound store, you know we have a decent number of local craft beers on tap. Typically we have something from Deep Ellum, Revolver and Martin House as well as some other local favorites. We try to do our best representing the local breweries and featuring what customers like.

Vegan? We’ve got You Covered

When we opened the first Taco Ocho back in 2011 in Richardson, the plan was to only sell eight tacos, eight tortas, and eight tostadas. Hence the name “Taco Ocho”. Ocho, means eight in Spanish (for non spanish speakers).

On that original taco menu, we didn’t offer a single vegan or vegetarian taco. And it’s strange, because we had eight vegetarian tostadas on the menu when we first opened.

Unfortunately, Tostadas didn’t really sell too well, and at that same time we opened that first store in Richardson…..my son was getting married, and his fiance was really into eating vegan/vegetarian food (she still is). So on those slow days at the restaurant we started making some vegan/vegetarian tacos and testing them with staff and some customers that were regulars and they liked them!

What to ask Before placing a Catering Order - We have all been there before, you have to get that lunch catered for the office. Happens to all of us. Either you are having a client come to the office for a meeting...or you got one of those marathon meetings that stretches through the lunch time.
