Mexican Lent Season Food

Lent season is a time where many people go without eating meat on Fridays, so it’s common for restaurants to offer patrons some alternatives. Dishes with nopales are a good and healthy substitute, and seafood dishes (especially seafood soups and shrimp patties) are extremely popular during this time of the year. Additionally, this is the time when everyone enjoys the beloved “Capirotada” dessert.
