TACO BAR SETUP

Location is everything! Position your taco bar where it is accessible but won't close off your main party space. You may want to consider two tables, one for foods that need to be served warm like chicken or steak, and one for cold items like cheese, salsa or other taco toppings.

FIESTA DECOR

Go bright! Think pennants and party hats in jewel-tone and primary colors, with fresh flowers decorating your tablescape. Select a variety of serving dishes with colors or patterns that can help punch up the taco birthday party vibes.

TACO BAR INGREDIENTS

When choosing taco bar ingredients, start with hard and soft shells that hold everything together like Old El Paso Stand 'N Stuff Shells. Next, consider the main fillings your guests will love, like shredded chicken, barbacoa, carnitas, or steak. Make sure to have plenty of sides like rice and beans, in addition to toppings like salsa, sauces, and guacamole.
