How many pounds of taco meat do I need for 150 people?
That is a lot of meat for a soft taco to hold, so I figured that for each person to get 4 oz of meat they would probably need at least two tacos.

How many tacos do I need to feed 100 people?

How do you calculate food per person?
To calculate how much money per person you have to spend, take your budget and divide that by your number of guests.

This number will help you determine the type of menu to prepare.
