Fall in Santa Clara gives us a lot to celebrate. Hispanic Heritage Month runs September 15 to October 15, and Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, falls on November 1 and 2, and both are perfect reasons to gather around good Mexican food. Deli-Cioso marks the season with seasonal specials and catering for gatherings and team celebrations across Santa Clara and Silicon Valley. Here is what the season means and how to bring it to your table.
Hispanic Heritage Month
From September 15 to October 15, Hispanic Heritage Month honors the culture, history, and food of Hispanic and Latino communities. For a lot of us it is personal, a month to slow down and share the flavors we grew up with. It is a natural time to bring coworkers together over a breakfast spread, or the family around a table of tacos and burritos.
Día de los Muertos
Día de los Muertos, on November 1 and 2, is a bright and joyful holiday that remembers loved ones who have passed. Families build ofrendas, or home altars, decorated with marigolds, candles, photos, and the foods their loved ones enjoyed in life. It is a celebration of memory and life, warm and colorful by design, and food sits right at the center of it.
How we celebrate at Deli-Cioso
Through the season we plan to add seasonal specials and a little extra color at the counter. Our everyday menu of fresh breakfast burritos, tacos, bowls, and tortas runs the whole time, so you can always get your favorites. Think of the specials as fun extras to explore alongside the classics.
Cater your celebration
Hosting a gathering or a team celebration for the season? We can cater it. From taco and bowl bars to individually boxed lunches, we make it easy to feed a crowd with fresh Mexican food across Santa Clara and Silicon Valley. Take a look at our catering options and we will help you plan something everyone will remember.
Simple ways to celebrate with food
You do not need a big event to mark the season. A few easy ideas:
- Bring a breakfast burrito spread to a morning team meeting.
- Set up a small taco bar for friends or family.
- Share a family style lunch of tortas and bowls.
- Add a seasonal treat to the table and toast to the people you are thinking of.
However you celebrate, we would love to be part of it. Come share a fresh plate with us in Santa Clara this season, and get a head start with our guide to the best tacos in Santa Clara.
