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, Mexican cuisine and drinks.
Cinco de Mayo offers food deals, from discounted tacos and meal combos to free delivery and cheap margaritas. Here's what we expect to see next year for Cinco de Mayo deals, based on the last event.

Offers, prices, and local participation may vary.
Cinco de Mayo is a 1-day annual holiday that offers deals on margaritas, burritos, and more.
Cinco de Mayo is one of the biggest party days of the year in the U.S., and restaurants compete for customers by offering various deals — including discounts on specific menu items, meal deals, specials on drinks, and even free delivery.
The next Cinco de Mayo will happen on May 5, 2026.
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 2026, on a Taco Tuesday.)
The next Cinco de Mayo will take place on Tuesday, May 5, 2026.
