This past weekend, we hosted a small cinco de mayo-inspired dinner party. The meal came together so beautifully and I really loved the details in the tablescape! It was simple, but felt elevated and not cheesy.

One of my favorite details were the tomatillos on each setting! I found these Hearth & Hand plates (dinner size, salad size) from Target and paired with some napkins from the H&H collection last year. I loved the way the blue combined with the terracotta hue dishes. Here is a similar option from this season’s collection and another, as well as sets from Williams Sonoma and Anthropologie I love.

And for the menu!
Appetizer: Blue chips with pineapple salsa, restaurant-style salsa, and a dressed up store bought guacamole
Mains:
Marinated seared flank steak and lime cilantro shrimp tacos with various toppings
Black bean salad and a salad with sliced tomatoes, avocado, pickled onions, salt and olive oil
Arroz con verde
Dessert: homemade churro ice cream topped with freshly baked churros
