¡Hola amigos y amigas! This month, the spirit of Mexico came alive at Royal Brock Retirement Living as we celebrated Cinco de Mayo in true fiesta fashion — complete with vibrant décor, wonderful food, and live music!

Our culinary team outdid themselves, with a menu that brought bold, fresh flavors to every plate. Residents had the choice between Beef Chimichangas with Salsa Verde — made with slow-cooked, seasoned shredded beef wrapped in a tortilla and baked to perfection — or the baked Snapper Veracruz, topped with a tangy, savory blend of olives, capers, tomatoes, and shishito peppers. ¡Qué rico!

Our mains were paired with two flavorful sides: a crisp, colorful Red & Green Cabbage Slaw tossed in a creamy dressing, and Mexican Potatoes pan-fried with banana peppers, onions, and red peppers. The fiesta finished sweetly with a slice of Key Lime Devine Pie.

And what’s a fiesta without música? We were happy to welcome back Dan Champagne, whose live performance brought rhythm, joy, and a little dancing in the aisle!

A huge gracias to Heather H for crafting the colourful flores de papel, our culinary, dietary, and wellness teams for making this Cinco de Mayo a night of celebration, connection, and community.

From our Royal Brock familia to yours — we hope your Cinco de Mayo is as delicious and joyful as ours. Until next year… ¡Viva México!
