1900 Mexican Grill and Tequila Bar

This Cinco de Drinko party will be powered by the band Hot Sauce from 6-10 p.m., as well as $6 margaritas.

1523 Elizabeth Ave.

Taco Bell

You read that right. It’s not exactly a party, but if you prefer to celebrate Cinco de Mayo in the morning, with a strangely shaped breakfast sandwich, stop by a participating Taco Bell between 7-11 a.m. for a “Biscuit Taco.” It’s not really a taco. It’s eggs, cheese and bacon or sausage, in a biscuit shaped to look like a taco shell. Buenas dias!
