El Indio Mexican Restaurant Prepares For The Holiday Season!

SAN DIEGO - Oct. 19, 2013 - PRLog -- Every year El Indio Mexican Restaurant prepares for the holidays by offering specially colored chips for Halloween and Pumpkin Fruit filled burritos for Thanksgiving. For special holidays they also offer Margaritas for those who like them. This year is no exception.

Since most things are made from scratch at El Indio it’s easy to come up with special items such as colored chips for Halloween. Of course they are colored orange and black to recognize the day. If you like pumpkin pie you’re going to love the pumpkin fruit filled burritos. As far as I know El Indio is the only Mexican restaurant to offer this special burrito.

Halloween has different meanings for some. Here in the United States it is more of a time for children to go trick or treating or to attend parties. Parties have become much more popular because it is a safer way to enjoy the day. For some Halloween is a time to remember loved ones who have passed on and saints.

A couple of thousand years ago the Celts celebrated Halloween as the end of the year. Their new year actually started on November 1 and Halloween was celebrated as the end of summer and the beginning of what would normally be a long hard winter. It was also the beginning of the harvest season and a time when they would begin to kill off stock that they felt would not make it through the winter.

For Latin American countries October 31^st is the beginning of a three day holiday called All Saints Day or All Souls Day and ending on November 2.  November 1^st is a day to remember and honor dead children and November 2 is a day to remember adults who have passed on. In the United States it is much more of a time to party.

Of course for centuries there was a lot of superstition about witches and black cats and Halloween. The belief that black cats were evil caused them to be killed by the thousands. Some believe that killing the black cats added to the plague because there weren’t enough cats to kill and eat all the rats that spread the plague. It’s kind of eliminating one problem and creating a larger one.

With the Holiday season beginning it’s time to plan parties and events. Don’t forget that El Indio is widely known as a great restaurant to cater your parties. They can not only provide quality Mexican food, but can make your party special by providing entertainment as well.
