Mother’s day is this Sunday, May 10.

Mom has worked all year long (not to mention all your life) taking care of you.  Now’s the time to show her some appreciation.  Get her out of the kitchen and take her out for a few mimosas, mojitos, or shots of tequila.

Here are a few options around the South Bay featuring the perfect foods to go with those drinks: you’ll find plenty of variety with classic American fare, Cuban, French, and Italian to choose from.

Happy Mother’s Day, Mom!
