Throwing the Ultimate Fiesta

If you’re planning a Cinco de Mayo party or other Mexican-themed celebration, we have the BEST products to help you throw the ultimate fiesta!

Tips for a Festive Fiesta

Here at Lil’ Luna, we love Mexican food and we love Mexican-themed parties! If you’re looking for ideas on how to throw the ultimate fiesta, we’ve got you covered. Here are some easy ways to make your fiesta one for the books:

1. Decorate with bright colors. Mexico is vibrant and colorful, so your fiesta should be too!
2. Serve food buffet style. Hopefully you’re planning to serve lots of yummy Mexican food (we happen to know a place where you can find some amazing recipes!). At a fiesta, food is best served buffet-style so guests can pick and choose what they want.
3. Make it fun. A fiesta is all about food AND fun! Music, dancing, games, and a photo booth will add even more fun to the party.

We have some great products that will help you throw the ultimate fiesta! From decorating to preparing and serving the food, these items will make your next Mexican-themed party easy to plan and a blast to be at!

Fixing the Fiesta

Mexican food just might be our favorite cuisine, and we have some products that make it so easy to prepare.

Electric Chopper – If you don’t love chopping up onions, garlic, peppers and other veggies, you’ve got to try this chopper! It saves so much time and work when making recipes that require a lot of chopping like Pico de Gallo.

Ninja Blender – This blender is the best and our go-to when making Homemade Salsa. It is so powerful and has a variety of functions that make it perfect for any job.

Electric Skillet – This nonstick skillet works wonders when frying the shells for Tostadas or crisping Chicken Quesadillas, and thanks to the handles you can easily transport the finished product!

Metal Tongs – These stainless steel tongs are a must-have when frying food for your fiesta. We love to use them when making Chicken Tacos and Flautas. We also use them when grilling Carne Asada.

Tamale Steamer – If you like tamales but don’t have one of these, do yourself a favor and grab one. It’s the best way to steam tamales!

Lime Squeezer – We love squeezing a little lime on so many of our Mexican dishes and this tool makes it so easy to do! We always have it on hand when making Cilantro Lime Rice.

Cob Corn Stripper – Have you ever tried cutting kernels off a corn cob? If so, you know it’s a pain–unless you have this handy product. This makes it so much easier to use fresh corn instead of canned for Mexican Street Corn!

Pepper Core Remover – This gadget is genius! It has a sharp spiral edge that allows you to efficiently and quickly cut and remove seeds from peppers for appetizers like Jalapeno Poppers or Sausage Stuffed Jalapenos.

Avocado Slicer – This tool effortlessly and safely cuts, removes the pit from and slices an avocado. An absolute necessity for homemade Guacamole!

Cheese Grater – If you’re still using an old-school box cheese grater, stop! This rotary grater requires minimal effort and gets the job done in a fraction of the time.

Tortilla Press – This cast iron tortilla press has been a lifesaver when making Homemade Flour Tortillas (it also works great for corn tortillas). It makes it so easy to press the dough and get them just the right shape!

Pastry Roller – We also love these wooden pastry rollers when making tortillas or Beef Empanadas. With three different sizes of rollers, they’re perfect for any pastry rolling job.

Pyrex Glass Baking Dishes – We use these baking dishes A LOT including when making Mexican Casserole and Bean Dip. The set comes with two different sizes both of which are sturdy and bake evenly.

Jelly Roll Pan – This is our all-time favorite pan, and it’s our number one choice when making Baked Chicken Chimichangas. It’s also a great pan for baking cookies like our yummy Mexican Wedding Cookies–a great addition to any fiesta!

For Your Fiesta Food

Presentation is key when when serving food! These are some products we love to use to make food look extra appetizing at fiestas.

Mexican Baskets – Made in Mexico, these colorful hand-woven baskets will add so much color to your fiesta! They come in a set of three and can be used for chips, tortillas or even centerpieces.

Mini Salsa Bowls – These salsa bowls are just like the ones they have at Mexican restaurants but more colorful! We love spreading out these bowls full of Homemade Salsa, Sweet Salsa Verde or Queso Blanco on the eating tables.

Disposable Buffet Set – This buffet set–complete with fuel pans–is a lifesaver at parties and would work wonderfully at a fiesta! And the best thing about them is that you can just toss them at the end of the night!
