Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - Family is the cornerstone of Mexican culture, but no one is more important than Mom, which is why El Día de la Madre (Mother's Day) is celebrated with such enthusiasm every year on May 10th.

On this day, children honor their mothers and thank them for their efforts in a variety of ways, but one of the most popular is to let someone else do the cooking.

El Día de la Madre is, without a doubt, the busiest day of the year for restaurants throughout Mexico, and they all go the extra mile to make the day extra special for mothers by offering special menus, drinks and live entertainment.

Here in Puerto Vallarta, there is no better way to show Mom your love than by treating her to a fabulous meal in the beautiful and relaxed atmosphere of The River Café, and on Thursday, May 10, this landmark restaurant on the banks of the Rio Cuale offers two ways to show her how much you care:
