Mother's Day is just around the corner. Before the pandemic, shoppers would be running to malls and stores in search of the perfect gift for the most influential female figure in their lives: brave and strong mothers.

The pandemic has taken away the chance of dining out and arranging a candlelit dinner. The Latino community, however, refuses to let the annual holiday become dull. Latinx leaders banded together to support local small business owners affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Give your mother a break from all the chaos and the health crisis by ordering her some yummy eats with the distinct Latino flavor.
