For as long as I've lived in Arizona, I have celebrated the unofficial holiday of cinco de Mayo by joining friends for an evening of Mexican food and margaritas. Obviously, that's not going to happen this year. I took the photo above back in 2018 when I arrived at one of my go-to Mexican restaurants, Los Sombreros. It was around 11:15 on a Sunday so I was one of the first to arrive at what is normally a very busy restaurant any day of the year. But this photo of empty chairs and tables kind of sets the mood for the today's predicament.
Here's another photo I took last summer at the same place.
Since I can't be there with friends to enjoy the day, I'll have to make do with these photos of their delicious chili relleno and a nice bowl of guacamole.
Maybe I'll see if they are doing take-out. At least I can have the food if not the company.

We only have memories and don't create new ones at the moment......
Oh I bet they definitely will be doing takeaway Sharon, you should look into it. All I can think about now is goucamoli.. yum 😉
I know the feeling. The wife and I have our wedding anniversary coming up. We always go to Red Lobster for dinner. We will certainly miss out this year for sure.
You should do take-out for sure, Sharon! The food looks so good!
I love Mexican food. I would be calling to see about take-out, the place does looks inviting.
In time, you will be back.
I'm (sort of) adjusting to the isolation and not going to restaurants but I definitely miss ethnic food and Mexican is always on the list. Sadly, I've yet to find a really good chili rellano around here.
Maybe next year I can join you.
I hope you got some Cinco de Mayo take-away! Or at least a margarita.
Takeout is the new reality.
