Cinco de Mayo commemorates the Mexican Army’s victory over the French empire and is celebrated every year on May 5th. Last year, we were just at the beginning of the pandemic so most of us celebrated Cinco de Mayo virtually or with some takeout. This year, as more and more people get vaccinated each day and dining restrictions begin to lift, it’s time to go out and celebrate (responsibly). The following restaurants are bringing the party so head out for a family dinner, a date night or even an escape with friends to enjoy some great drinks, Mexican food and each other’s company.
