Although you may be staying at home this Cinco de Mayo, there are still plenty of deals and discounts to take advantage of. The holiday commemorates the Mexican Army’s unlikely victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla dating May 5, 1862, and today, it’s a celebration of Mexican-American culture.
To celebrate, restaurants are offering drink deals and food specials for both dine-in and carryout. The deals below include national chains, but you can check with your local restaurants to see what Cinco de Mayo takeout deals they may be offering. For even more fun, try your hand at making tacos and tequila drinks at home!
