Close to a Texans heart, Cinco de Mayo sneaks up on us every year with more reasons the celebrate. This year, the event list is bursting at the seams and I am giving you a full rundown of the fun headed your way beginning this weekend. Salud!
Lazaranda is throwing a three-day Cinco de Mayo fiesta Saturday, May 3 through Monday, May 5. Guests will enjoy Cinco Tacos, five carne asada and poblano tacos, for $15 and two tropical tostadas, with marinated tilapia and shrimp in key lime juice and spices, red onion, pineapple, mango, a touch of ginger and cilantro, and sliced avocado, for $8. House frozen or on-the-rocks margaritas and draft beer pints will be $4. Guests can listen to live music on the patio Saturday evening starting at 7 p.m.
Cinco de Mayo celebrates the Battle of Pueblo, not Mexican Independence Day as is commonly thought. Regardless, Mexican-American communities across the United States celebrate the holiday as a fiesta of uncommon proportion. In recognition of this, Cantina Laredo locations have added two specialty margaritas available now through May 5.
Alamo Draft House in Richardson is celebrating the occasion with a ‘Three Amigos’ Quote-Along showing. (Everyone attending will get tiny sombreros, maracas and there will be a piñata contest along with fun themed games before hand.)
Specialty Cinco de Mayo Food options will also be available:
Three Amigos – Mix & Match Tacos.
Black Bean Avocado Taco (The Dusty Bottoms)
Bacon Egg Queso Taco (The Ned Nederlander)
Spicy Picadillo Taco (The Lucky Day)
Cinco de Mayo Drinks:
Santa Poco (Casamigos Reposado, Lemon, Sugar, Peach Bitters, Club Soda)
