We find our selves immersed in sunshine and summer lurking just around the corner. there is no better way to kicking off the summer season celebrating the upcoming holiday with simple gathering with friends + family.
One again we collaborated with our fabulous neighbors at square one cafe to bring you yet another post for our dinner series. A big thanks to brenna with flying 3k photography for capturing all the beautiful details.
We used traditionally bright hued colors for our Cinco de Mayo celebration accented with earth tone of terra cotta vessels and simply strung papel picado in the spirit of the holiday. We wanted to round out the intimate tablescape with rich colors + textures using garden roses, anemone, pin cushions, ranunculus and locally grown poppies (our fav!) with cut mexican beer bottles candles nestled throughout
Our signature drinks of traditional lime margaritas + mexican beer set the tone for this cinco de mayo dinner. You can have a little fun by Sweeten it up a bit… adding fresh fruit purees like mango or strawberry; or go crazy by adding cucumber, prickly pear, or even jalapeños to wow your guests.
For dinner, Lindsay with Square One Cafe,went with chicken fajitas rolled in flour tortillas. Mini crispy ground beef tacos topped with cilantro, onions, and limes. She suggested oou can make mini tacos just by cutting tortillas with a simple cookie cutter-how fun. She also included Mexican street tacos with their famous 12 hour pulled pork stuffed in white corn tortillas with all of the fixins’. But, to top it all off, they grilled up some fresh, sweet, corn on the cob and slathered it with Mexican crema , queso fresco, chili powder, and cayenne pepper. And of course served all of this with corn chips with pico de gallo, tomatillo salsa, roasted corn and black bean salsa, and our handmade guacamole.
