What is Dia de Los Muertos?

Dia de Los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is a time-honored Mexican holiday dedicated to celebrating the lives of loved ones who have passed. Rather than a somber occasion, Dia de Los Muertos is a vibrant, joyful celebration filled with music, food, and artistic expressions, including the use of skulls (calaveras) and marigolds to honor the dead. It is an opportunity to reflect on life’s fragility and to celebrate its beauty.

At Mijo Modern Mexican, we are proud to share this beautiful tradition with our guests. Our Dia de Los Muertos celebration is a night where modern sophistication meets cultural reverence, creating an event unlike any other Mexican restaurant in Las Vegas.
