    Decorations for a taco party

    If you know me, you know that tacos means it's party time! And I can't post a taco recipe without getting yu ready for a taco party because anytime I serve tacos is a good time for a taco party! But really, tacos are the best party food and I love the festive atmosphere whenever you serve tacos.

    Start with hanging this Taco About A Party Banner (this makes me crack up every time!), add a colorful Serepe Plastic Tablecloth, or this set of hand woven serape table runners in fextive colors (or both!) and these adorable Fiesta Paper Striped Party Straws with Tacos, Sombreros and more on them.

    A taco serving plate with all the sections is an ideal way to serve all your favorite toppings and be sure to don your let's taco about it t-shirt (again, cracking up here!) and let the fiesta begin!
