Layout a do-it-yourself taco station

Make your guests have a feel of Mexican cuisine – taco buffet. You just have to prepare a table with lettuce, beans, tomatoes, shredded chicken, guacamole, sour cream, pico de gallo and other taco fillings you can think of. Make your guests create their own taco with options for soft and hard shells on a platter.

Make the most of your Cinco De Mayo party. Have fun and enjoy the celebration.
