Looking for the perfect hangover remedy this New Year’s Day? Head to Food City Supermarkets across Arizona, where you can enjoy a free bowl of menudo—a traditional Mexican dish known for its delicious flavor and hangover-curing properties. On January 1, 2025, from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., dine-in customers will be treated to a complimentary small bowl of menudo at 35 participating Food City locations statewide.

Menudo, a rich and spicy soup made from hominy, tripe, and seasoned broth, is a time-honored tradition in Mexican cuisine, especially loved for its reputed ability to alleviate hangover symptoms. Served with fresh toppings like diced onions, cilantro, oregano, and a squeeze of lemon, this flavorful dish is a great way to start the new year.

This free menudo event at Food City celebrates both National Menudo Month and National Hangover Day, encouraging the community to gather and enjoy this classic comfort food. As a grocery store with deep roots in Arizona’s Hispanic community, Food City has been serving traditional Mexican foods and specialty items for over 60 years. The brand is known not only for its quality groceries but also for hosting meaningful cultural events and community activities throughout the year.
