Cinco de Mayo is just around the corner, and if you love to celebrate, get ready to enjoy some delicious food. Whether you are looking for dinner ideas or something festive to sip on, you’ll find some of our favorite flavors for your Cinco de Mayo party.

Jalapeno Margarita

It’s not a Cinco de Mayo party without margaritas. Make this spicy jalapeno margarita with fresh ingredients to cut down on calories and satisfy your tastebuds.

Guacamole

Guacamole is another party staple. It’s easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. You can use it as a topping for tacos and fajitas or as a dip for tortilla chips.

Fajita Stuffed Peppers

For a bit more substance, these chicken fajita peppers are truly satisfying. Serve alone or with rice and tortillas.

Cilantro Rice

Cilantro rice is one of our favorite sides, and when it is made fresh, there is nothing like it. Serve as a side dish or make it a meatless meal by adding black beans and your favorite toppings.

Homemade Flan

For a truly classic dessert, this flan recipe is simple and delicious. Smooth and creamy custard is drizzled with homemade caramel sauce that dreams are made of.

Chili Lime Shrimp Tacos

We love sheet-pan chili lime shrimp. This recipe is easy to make all at once on a sheet pan and is ready to serve over rice or in a tortilla. The spicy chili and tangy lime flavor combination is the perfect accent for shrimp.

Southwest Corn Dip

Add this creamy corn dip to your table to serve with chips or sliced veggies. Served cold, this dip can be made ahead and is easy to transport.

Strawberry Agua Fresca

For a refreshing, non-alcoholic drink, strawberry agua fresca is the one to beat. This traditional drink is easy to make and especially wonderful on a hot day.

Chile con Queso

Warm chile con queso is a family favorite. It’s loaded with flavor and tastes great with tortilla chips. Add this one to your party table and enjoy!

Pulled Pork Nachos

Nachos are a given on Cinco de Mayo, but these pulled pork nachos take it up a notch with fresh toppings, savory pulled pork, and melty cheese. Who could ask for more?
