    Cinco de Mayo Recipes

    Cornmeal Crusted Fish Tacos with Rhubarb Salsa

    This post may contain affiliate links.

    I just love Mexican food, so you can imagine how excited I get each year when Cinco de Mayo comes around.  This year, I’ve been quite consumed over the past three weeks with a new house hunt, so my fiesta preparations have been virtually nonexistent.  Luckily, I recently found an amazing place to live (more exciting deets coming soon), so I can now concentrate all my time on party planning.  I’ve gathered some of my favorite Mexican recipes below all suitable for a Cinco de Mayo celebration.  From cocktails to tamales, these recipes are all so bold and so delicious.  Continue reading for the roundup.

    I’m going to keep the chatter to a minimum and let the pictures do the talking.  Click through to find the recipe and more information on the dish.  Let’s start with appetizers and drinks.

      Holy guacamole Brandon! You put a great twist to all of these “traditional” (well to me, they’re pretty traditional) foods! I LOVE that you incorporated bacon in the guacamole and had almond horchata! Haven’t had that before so definitely was ELATED when I found out you had posted up the recipes as well. Will be trying it out real soon!
