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

What an artfully curated Cinco de Mayo spread! I absolutely adore the tomatillos at each place setting—they pair beautifully with those Hearth & Hand plates, creating an elevated yet approachable vibe. The blue chips with pineapple salsa and churro-topped ice cream offer such a playful twist. It’s inspiring to see how simple elements can feel so intentional.
As someone passionate about unique and creative menu inspiration, I’d love to share some fun McAlister’s Deli twist ideas—everything from zesty spud toppings to refreshing side salads—over at my site, McAlister’s Deli Menus. Thanks for the inspiration; this is a fiesta worth remembering!
