Cinco de Mayo Treats

There's plenty of Cinco de Mayo events with festive foods and drinks such as tacos, nachos, beer and margaritas to enjoy all weekend long.

But in the last few years, a few restaurants have been adding Cinco de Mayo daytime treats to the menu.

Finding inspiration from the May celebration, chef Rick Martinez, the author of "Mi Cocina: Recipes and Rapture from my Kitchen in Mexico," has created a horchata-inspired doughnut that features fresh rhubarb, strawberries sourced locally, and, a drizzle of horchata made in-house. Only available from May 5 to June 8 for $5 at Holey Grail Donuts.

Chef Martinez's flavorful festive collaboration with the bakery will raise money for The Ali Forney Center, "a non-profit organization founded in 2002, fighting homelessness for LGBTQ+ youth around the country."

But if you're in the mood for a treat with a kick to it, head over to Randy's Donuts for their bake tasty Tajín premium doughnuts from May 1 through 31.

The special donut is filled with mango, and topped with the fruit, too, with Tajín seasoning on the doughnut's top.

It's $3.75 and the icing is flavored with Tajín, too.

Enjoy these two Cinco de Mayo treats while they last.
