Who doesn’t love tacos? With Cinco De Mayo coming up, taco night is a perfect way to host a fun gathering with friends. Hosting a taco night is not only a great way to enjoy tasty food and margaritas, but also a wonderful way to spend time with those close to you. Here’s are some quick tips on hosting a taco night that are sure to make your fiesta one to remember!
1. Set the Scene
Create a festive atmosphere by decorating your space with vibrant colors, such as red, green, and yellow. Hang some string lights. String lights are such a fun and easy way to decorate AND they look great year round. Set out your favorite colorful tablecloths, and arrange some flowers or succulents as centerpieces.
2. Build Your Taco Bar
The heart of any taco night is the taco bar. Set up a spread with a variety of toppings and fillings to cater to everyone’s tastes. Offer options like seasoned ground beef, shredded chicken, vegetables, and beans. Don’t forget the essentials like lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, salsa, guacamole, and sour cream, and hot sauce.
Pro tip : if each person brings one ingredient / dish it makes it more collaborative and less overwhelming if you’ve got a busy schedule!
3. Mix Up Some Margaritas
No taco night is complete without some refreshing margaritas. Set up a DIY margarita station with different flavors of margarita mix, tequila, salt for the rims, and plenty of lime wedges. You can also offer non-alcoholic options like agua frescas or virgin margaritas for those who prefer not to drink.
6. Capture Your Taco Night Memories
Finally, make sure to capture the fun moments throughout the night. Set up a photo booth with props or simply designate a corner with a fun backdrop where guests can take pictures together.
With these tips, you’re well on your way to hosting a taco night party that your friends will never forget. So gather your friends and family, whip up some tacos, and get ready for a fiesta to remember!
