At El Sabor De Mi Cocina, we are more than just a restaurant—we are a celebration of Mexican culture and cuisine. One of the best ways to experience the heart and soul of Mexico is through its holidays, and we love sharing these traditions with our guests. From the vibrant colors of Día de los Muertos to the festive spirit of Cinco de Mayo, Mexican holidays bring a chance to enjoy delicious food, rich culture, and meaningful celebrations.

Día de los Muertos: A Feast for the Senses

Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is a deeply meaningful holiday that honors the lives of those who have passed. The celebration, which takes place on November 1st and 2nd, is a beautiful fusion of joy and remembrance. At El Sabor De Mi Cocina, we pay homage to this tradition by offering a special menu featuring dishes that have been passed down through generations.

One of the highlights of our Día de los Muertos menu is pan de muerto, a sweet bread flavored with orange and anise. Traditionally enjoyed with a cup of hot chocolate, it is a beloved part of the celebration. We also serve tamales de pollo (chicken tamales) wrapped in banana leaves, a dish that symbolizes family and unity. These comforting dishes bring together our community, celebrating both life and memory with every bite.

Cinco de Mayo: Fiesta Time with Flavorful Favorites

Cinco de Mayo is one of the most widely recognized Mexican holidays, and for good reason! It marks the victory of the Mexican army over French forces in the Battle of Puebla in 1862. While it is a holiday full of pride and joy, it is also a perfect time to indulge in some of Mexico’s most beloved dishes.

At El Sabor De Mi Cocina, we offer a festive menu that includes tacos al pastor—tender marinated pork served with pineapple and salsa, a street food favorite that captures the essence of Mexican cuisine. Another fan favorite is chiles en nogada, a dish rich in history and flavor. It features poblano chiles stuffed with picadillo (a mixture of meat, fruit, and spices) and covered in a creamy walnut sauce. The colors of the dish—green, white, and red—represent the Mexican flag and add a beautiful visual touch to your meal.

Posadas: Celebrating the Holiday Season with Warmth and Tradition

The Posadas are a series of festive processions leading up to Christmas, celebrated from December 16th to December 24th. These events reenact Mary and Joseph’s search for a place to stay in Bethlehem. During this time, we offer a special ponche (a warm fruit punch) that is perfect for the cold weather, spiced with cinnamon, cloves, and tamarind. It’s the perfect drink to enjoy while sharing laughter and good times with family and friends.

We also serve bacalao a la vizcaína, a traditional Christmas dish made with salted cod, tomatoes, olives, and capers. This hearty dish is a favorite during the holiday season, representing the rich culinary heritage of Mexico.
