6. A traditional Mexican menu
For wedding catering, you can design a family-style menu in which all the guests can taste some of the typical dishes the country and the region offer.
Guacamole is a must, as well as the enchiladas, corn served with chili and lemon (called Esquite in some regions of Mexico), fresh, flavored, Aguas Frescas made with jamaica flower or regional fruits, churros (a classic Mexican dessert), and the representative traditional dishes that have delighted palates all around the world.
Garambullo Catering recommends choosing an open menu to share with the guests a wider scope of Mexican gastronomy. The fried corn empanadas stuffed with flor de calabaza and huitlacoche are a true delight, as are the esquites accompanied by mayonnaise, chili powder, and a touch of lemon.
Garambullo also recommends paying tribute to the variety of moles that exist in the country, which can be accompanied with different types of protein to create delicious dishes.
The “Pescado a la veracruzana” (fish inspired by Veracruz’s essence) is one of the most flavorful dishes that can be served at your wedding, as well as the tlayudas from Oaxaca accompanied by chorizo or cecina. The “Chile Poblano” is also a must if you want to create an unforgettable experience for the senses.
Garambullo Catering adds that choosing a Mexican menu builds on a great experience for all your guests. It can be adapted to any type of table and palates will be surprised by the use of traditional and gourmet techniques with which the dishes are prepared.
