Did you know that September 16 is not only Mexican Independence Day, but also National Guacamole Day? It’s true! There are two reasons to celebrate with Mexican food in NH, and El Tapatio is the perfect place to do it!
Mexican Independence Day and Guacamole Day sharing the same date is a fun coincidence for Mexican restaurants. Celebrate with us and enjoy Mexican food in NH at El Tapatio!
A Little History
Let’s start with the history. On the night of September 15, 1810, Miguel Hidalgo rang the church bell in Dolores and called for the end of Spanish rule. The next morning, the fight for Mexico’s independence officially began. That moment—known as El Grito de Dolores—is honored every year with music, fireworks, and traditional Mexican food. Unlike Cinco de Mayo (which celebrates a different historical event), September 16 is the true Independence Day of Mexico.
A Modern Holiday for Guac
Now, fast-forward to modern times, and you’ll find that the United States celebrates another important day on September 16: National Guacamole Day! While not rooted in revolutionary history, it’s a fun, flavorful tribute to one of Mexico’s most iconic dishes. Creamy avocados, fresh lime, onion, tomato, jalapeño, and cilantro, what’s not to love?
Two Reasons to Celebrate
At El Tapatio, we say: Why not both? This September 16, bring your friends and family to enjoy everything our menu has to offer. Here are some of our favorites:
- Traditional street tacos
- Guacamole made fresh all day long (of course)
- Carne asada
- Churros, flan, tres leches, and other Mexican desserts
- And much more!
Whether you’re honoring Mexico’s hard-won freedom or just showing your love for freshly made guacamole (or both!), El Tapatio is the place to be. So grab your friends, bring your appetite, and join us for a day full of pride, flavor, and fiesta. ¡Viva México y viva el guacamole!
