Where to commemorate Día de los Muertos in Houston (Via EaterHouston)
Día de los Muertos, which takes place November 1 and November 2, is a holiday meant to celebrate the lives of loved ones who have passed on. In the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, the commemoration has perhaps taken on more meaning than usual.
But that doesn’t mean it’s a somber event. In Mexico, where the tradition began, the holiday is a festive time filled with music, dancing, food, flowers, and family. It’s also about recognizing the interconnectedness of life and death, and the enduring importance of community. Given the large Mexican and Mexican American population in Houston, the Day of the Dead’s importance continues to grow in the Bayou City. Below are just a handful of the restaurants hosting Día de los Muertos celebrations this year.Through Tuesday, November 2, Bayou and Bottle is offering a special marigold-inspired cocktail made with tequila, live, agave, and passion fruit called the Flor de Muertos margarita.
