Cinco de Mayo suppers might very well be your every-night-of-the-year-if-possible suppers, which is understandable, since the festive foods of the festive occasion are such enduring staples. Download our mobile app for iOS or Android to get the latest breaking news and local stories.
But restaurants have a way of burnishing and bettering the beautiful bites we associate with the fifth day of May, making them even more marvelous in honor of the food-strong holiday.
While many traditional celebrations are cancelled in 2021, we can still find the margaritas, enchiladas, and guacamoles we love at the eateries we love, either by dining there or getting the deliciousness to go.

Good morning and welcome to the TimesOC newsletter.
It’s Wednesday, April 14. I’m Carol Cormaci, bringing you the latest roundup of Orange County news and events.
During the middle of the day last Sunday, while most Orange County residents were going about their usual routines, Pier Plaza in Huntington Beach was teeming for a few hours with people drawn in, some by curiosity but mostly in solidarity with people of color after word spread that a “White Lives Matter” rally was planned.
A team of my colleagues Hayley Smith, Ruben Vives, Priscella Vega, Hannah Fry and Matt Szabo covered the event, which turned out to be largely a grassroots counter protest to the white supremacist’s’ planned rally. Not only did media keep an eye on the action, police helicopters and drones hovered above throughout. It was the kind of scene, with the potential for chaos, that Huntington Beach has witnessed all too many times over the years.

Catalina Island is known for many things - its amazing beaches, the unparalleled snorkeling and of course, the bison who call it their home. But after health orders brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, people also lost out on learning about the island s rich and storied history.
Catalina Island Museum Executive Director Julie Perline-Lee says thankfully tourists are returning because COVID had been incredibly destructive to them. It was real touch-and-go there. Most of our community had lost their jobs because we are a tourist-based industry, Perline-Lee said. We had all our eggs in one basket.
