With Cinco de Mayo right around the corner, I thought it would be fun to put together some of the best Mexican appetizers out there so anyone who is planning a party can find everything they need in one place! I searched everywhere to find the best Mexican recipes I could find and let me tell you – there are a lot! So forget the main course and just serve up your favorite Mexican appetizer recipes and your favorite Mexican dessert recipes – perfect for celebrating all night long! You could serve any of these as stand alone recipes or even put the alongside a nacho bar – your choice, they’ll all be delicious no matter what you choose!
Delicious Dips
Dips are one of my personal favorites because they make for super easy Mexican appetizers. Serve them up with chips (preferably homemade tortilla chips) and dippers for a great choice every time.
Mexican Finger Foods
Next up are the Mexican food options that are grab and go! No silverware required – just fingers! These are the best thing to serve if people are going to be up and walking around a lot.
Delicious Salsas
Last but not least, salsa makes a delicious appetizer, and there are tons of varieties out there you could include! You could even do a whole salsa bar complete with crunchy chips, veggies, and other things to dip into salsa.
