You probably already know that Cinco de Mayo deals are plentiful in sit-down restaurants across the country, since it’s a big day to go out. The holiday is celebrated annually on May 5 — the date of Mexico's victory over French forces in 1862 — and has become a big celebration of Mexican heritage here in the U.S.
This festive holiday is marked by parties, parades, and, of course, getting Mexican cuisine and drinks. Restaurants across the country join in the festivities by offering enticing deals and specials, making it a popular time for dining out and enjoying delicious food and beverages.
In previous years, Cinco de Mayo has been packed with restaurant deals, ranging from discounted empanadas and meal combos to free delivery and discounted margaritas. Chipotle has offered free delivery, while establishments like On the Border and Miller’s Ale House have featured discounted House Margaritas. We expect to see these deals and more return on May 5, 2024.

Cinco de Mayo celebrates Mexican culture with dine-in food & drink specials.
Cinco de Mayo is one of the biggest party days of the year in the U.S., and restaurants are competing for customers by offering various deals — including discounts on specific menu items, meal deals, specials on drinks, and even free delivery.
Cinco de Mayo happens every year on May 5.
In case you didn’t know, Cinco de Mayo literally means “5th of May” in Spanish. So yeah, the date doesn’t change. But every year, Cinco de Mayo falls on a different day of the week. (It’s always a little amped up when Cinco de Mayo is on a weekend, or like in 2023, on a Taco Tuesday.)
Cinco de Mayo takes place on Sunday, May 5, 2024.
