No, I don't believe there is any such meal available here for various reasons, but maybe someone will prove me wrong.

Día de San Patricio is a much different day in Mexico than in the USA, though U.S. mercadotecnia is doing its best to try to homogenize it here, mostly in the bigger cities, so that it's a day of big liquor sales as it is in the U.S.

Here it's more a day to commemorate the ultimate sacrifice made by incredibly brave Irishmen and others known as the Batallón de San Patricio who fought WITH the Mexicans AGAINST the U.S. invaders during the inappropriately named Mexican-American War from 1846 to 1848.

So while you're celebrating your traditional way, please take a moment to honor these incredibly brave men and women who gave their lives for our beloved Mexico.
