taco bar
Build-your-own shells
A taco bar is a self-serve setup where diners assemble their own tacos from an array of ingredients—tortillas, meats, beans, cheese, salsa, and toppings.
Common at parties and casual gatherings, it lets guests customize to their preferences: We're doing a taco bar for the graduation party.
