We've finally done a themed dinner for Coco! This movie is so good. I mean it's so good that I almost don't care that I've seen it 1,200 times. If you haven't had the opportunity to watch it, it's on Netflix and you won't be disappointed!
For dinner we had Papa Hector's Chorizo, Tamales, Frida Kahlo's Papaya, Spiced Coco, Poisoned Drink, and Ernesto De La Cruz's Guitar. It was delicious!
