In Mexico, families traditionally come together to cook massive amounts of food during holiday festivities. At Don Ramon, you and your family can enjoy authentic Mexican cuisine this holiday season. Families in Mexico often spend days cooking and preparing meals for their holiday gatherings. We understand that you probably don’t have time for yet more cooking. That’s why you should come visit Don Ramon for Mexican food and holiday treats!
Food plays a central role in Mexican holiday traditions and celebrations. Here are some of our favorite Mexican holiday dishes.
Tamales
At the top of the list in Mexico is a fan favorite: tamales. Tamales, when prepared the traditional way, typically take a long time to make. However, it is a celebration in itself once it is finished and steaming, and you get to unwrap the corn husk, just like you were opening a Christmas gift.
Rosca de Reyes
This dessert (Kings’ Bread) is traditionally made in late December for Posadas or for Día de Los Santos Reyes on January 6th. The holiday treat resembles a well-decorated wreath, covered with candied figs, lemon, cherries, and mangoes.
Empanadas
While you can make empanadas at any time of year, many families make them during the holiday season as an appetizer for the main meals ahead. They’re easy to make, everyone likes them, and you can change the fillings to suit your guests’ tastes. The perfect party food.
Lime-Chipotle Carnitas Tostadas
Another year-round dish that makes a great appetizer is a carnitas tostada. Carnitas are like small soft tacos with pulled pork in them instead of beef or chicken. To top it off, add lettuce, onion, or guacamole, and you might wish it were the main course.
