Get ready for a fiesta with these taco bar party ideas any day of the year!
Wherever you may live, schools are either out already or almost out. Thank goodness, right? Well I have a fun idea for you and your family to celebrate with the kids with these Taco Bar Party Ideas.
The great part is that if your kids are having their friends over on the last day, tacos are the perfect dinner solution. Your kids will also love building their own tacos with all the different toppings.
Taco Bar Party Ideas
I usually just start with an empty table and start building from there with a tablecloth or no tablecloth depending on how I feel. For this party I decided on no tablecloth and to keep it simple. With the temps warming up, I moved it outdoors on our back porch for a little more fun.
For my taco bar I included all the essentials:
- Meat of choice
- Tortilla shells
- Cheese, shredded
- Lettuce, shredded
- Tomatoes, diced
- Refried beans
- Mexican Rice
- Salsa*
- Guacamole
- Sour cream
- Limes, sliced
- Cilantro
- Tortilla chips
*I have a homemade restaurant style salsa recipe that I shared on the blog recently that you should definitely try. It’s so easy to make and has a special ingredient that really takes it over the top.
I start placing all of my ingredients into different serving dishes and then place them on the table moving things around until I’m happy with the results. To label each item (even though we know what everything is, it’s just more fun), you could also place chalkboard stickers on the table beside each dish and then write with a chalk marker what each one is.
Be sure to add different heights on your table as well for not only looks but also to make it easier when guests are trying to reach for all the deliciousness.
To really add a pop of color, try making sombrero decorations made from terra cotta pots and pom poms or even some tissue paper banners that are perfect for a fiesta. You can find them here where I shared my Cinco de Mayo Party: Decorations and Recipes. I hung some of the tissue paper banners around the table for some extra color.
And if that isn’t enough goodness, the great news about a taco bar is that you can usually just buy everything you already need premade to make your life so much simpler and just place it in serving trays if you are pressed for time.
And that’s all there is to it. This is also a perfect idea for a dinner party or game night with the family.
