    Abstract: The invention described to us is understood to relate generally to food servers. More specifically, the invention is a plastic dishware dinner kit adapted for holding both soft and hard taco shells for serving purposes. The taco holder comprises a long plastic frame having a plurality of cut-outs, or slots, along the bulging upper portion. The remaining ring-like partitions separate the equidistant taco holding slots from each other. The unique construction of the slots prevent taco shells from sagging and provide support which prevents taco fillings from falling out of the shells. The taco holder has a hollow portion that allows air to flow through it and allows steam to freely escape from the interior of taco fillings, thereby leaving the taco shells crisp and fresh for longer periods of time. In addition, the hollow configuration of th taco holder allows a plurality of holders to be nested together for storage in box-like container with a pop-top lid.
