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 are this year's deals, plus other deals you can expect for Cinco de Mayo on May 5. We'll continue to update this post as the deals drop.

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.
Cinco de Mayo is May 5, 2025.
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 will take place on Monday, May 5, 2025.
