Getting all dressed up for Cinco de Mayo is a big part of the fun. You can go with a costume or you may prefer traditional garb. This is lots of fun and can add excitement to the celebration. It never hurts to look great, do not worry about being shy! Pull out all the stops and have fun with your colorful attire.
Costumes are a great way to go; let your imagination go wild. With a white flowing shirt, large sombrero, and black slacks, you have become a musician. A serape is great to add, all you have to do is throw it on your shoulder and then grab a guitar, and you have the look. If you want a really authentic look rent a Mariachi band costumes from a shop or go online to find one.
Another costume option would be to dress as a Mexican revolutionary. Get out your sombrero, paste on a large black mustache and put bandoliers across your shoulders. Carry a toy rifle and a tequila bottle and you will be all set.
If traditional clothing is what you prefer, you have got it made. A white peasant blouse off one shoulder can be great for women. Bright colored skirts with ruffles add a great look. The Mexican flag colors work great, look for clothes that are a festive green, red, and white. These colors work great for many historical days in Mexico. Bright colored ribbons used to tie back the hair is a great touch; flowers made from tissue paper are fun pin to your hair also. Huaraches or leather sandals are comfy and a great way to complete the look while you dance the night away.
For men, look for loose, comfortable pants and a simple white shirt. If you have access to a woven serape or poncho, wear it. Use a bandana or sombrero to finish your party outfit. Boots work well as shoes. Put on a smile and you are ready to party.
Many costume shops have all these outfits to rent or buy. Everything you could want is there in their lofts of costumes, from the bandito to the salsa dancer or peasant. They have reasonable prices and you will have the perfect garments to celebrate the day. Make sure you book your costume early so you get your favorite. Wait too long and you must choose from what is left on the rack.
Now that you are dressed for the part, it is time to enjoy all those delicious Mexican recipes you have been dreaming about. Cheesy enchiladas, fruity granitas, creamy flan… all of them are waiting for you to dig right in and enjoy them. Be careful not to drip anything on your nice outfit, though.
Cinco de Mayo’s enjoyment can be increased by a little dress up. These attractive and traditional outfits for Mexican holidays are comfortable. There are few options for dressy garments that fit these criteria. So, sit back and dress for the occasion. Cinco de Mayo is a great party, have fun, and dress the part.
The great thing about Cinco de Mayo is that every family makes their favorite Mexican foods to celebrate with and traditional Cinco de Mayo food is whatever you want to make. There are no traditional foods associated with these festivities so you can make whichever Mexican dishes tantalize your taste buds. Mexican recipes are as easy to make as they are great tasting. As the mother of four boys I can tell you Mexican food is a favorite in our house.

Martinez Montiel Guayaberas may seem very unique from other traditional Guayabera retailers on the Internet or in Miami, that’s because they are! Our notion is not to necessarily be the biggest, but to be different – and therefore the best. The Guayabera has enjoyed an increased popularity in recent years, yet nobody has stood to meet the challenge of introducing style and diversity into tradition- until now. With our love of the Guayabera, we were faced with either looking like everyone else, or developing our own. We chose as we believe everyone else is starting to choose. Our niche market has grown from a local word of mouth, to eBay, and now to our website, www.MartinezMontiel.com.
The Martinez Montiel™ brand is a higher end specialty designer line specifically intended for the cultural enthusiast and modeled after the South American, Aztec, and new Cuban style flavors. It is an original and intricately crafted embroidered shirt yet with a taste of history and culture sewn into every stitch. We also offer custom design work relative to our customers’ specifications for weddings, parties, or corporate events.
The GUAYABERA
Sometimes misspelled: guyabera, guayebera, guyabera, guyabara, guayabara, guyabera, guayabas, or by many other names such as Mexican Wedding shirts, Havana shirts, Cigar shirts, Mexican shirts, Yayabera shirts, or Cuban shirts – are not only extremely comfortable but versatile. Guayaberas can be worn for formal events such as weddings or dinner party’s, or non-formal events such as picnics or casual nights out. They can also be used for company functions & events, or uniforms for the restaurant and hotel industries.
The Guayabera has enjoyed a long history first introduced in Cuba. The origin of the name Guayabera may come from a Cuban legend that tells of a poor countryside seamstress sewing large pockets into her husband’s shirts for carrying guava (guayabas) from the field, thus creating the Guayabera style. The Guayaberas name may also have originated from the word yayabero, the word for a person who lived near the Yayabo River in Cuba. It later spread to Latin America where its popularity grew.
The Guayabera has four front pockets (two above and two below) and two vertical lines of alforzas (ten vertical pleats that are very closely sewed and pass from above the top pockets down to the bottom of the shirt). The top of each pocket is usually adorned with a button, as are the bottoms of the alforzas. The Cuban Guayabera, unlike the Mexican, also has the alforzas going down the center of the shirt, over the button holes. The back of the Guayabera also follows the same pattern of alforzas. The bottom of the shirt has three-inch slits on each side engaged with a small button. As a straight-bottomed shirt, it is worn outside the trousers. The cuffs may be either one-button or French-cuffed. The white French-cuffed Guayabera worn with a black bowtie, is considered to be equivalent to a tuxedo and can be worn as formal attire.

Authentic Mexican cuisine is not something you come across every day in the United States. Most of what we call Mexican food is actually Tex-Mex: a combination of Mexican food and Southwestern cuisine. Authentic Mexican food has a long tradition that reaches all the way back to the ancient Mexican tribes of the Toltecs, Mayans, and Aztecs. When the Spanish visited Continue reading Mexican Food – How to Make Authentic Mexican Cuisine

Bread pudding is a classic recipe and there are lots of different ways to make it. Bread pudding is great if you have some stale bread to use up but you can use fresh bread if that is all you have. Bread pudding is a hearty, warming dessert and it tastes amazing. Serve it alone or with some whipped cream or ice cream.
Bread pudding is often enjoyed during Lent in Mexico Continue reading Mexican Food – Bread Pudding Mexican Style
