The story behind the shell
It started with our wedding
In 2013, while we were planning our wedding, Tara had an idea:
“A mini taco station would be amazing. Who wouldn’t love mini tacos? We have to serve them at our wedding!”
I’d spent years in the food business, so I figured finding the shells would be easy. It wasn’t. I called every contact I had, and fresh mini taco shells just didn’t exist.
So I made them myself. In the weeks before the wedding, I handmade 1,200 shells so Tara could have her mini tacos.
Some of my chef friends were at the wedding. After tasting them, they told me that if I could bring these shells to the industry, they’d buy them. So I did. That’s how Mini Taco Shells began.
Today we still make every batch by hand in Hillsborough, NJ, after you order, so your shells arrive as fresh as the ones we served at our own wedding.
