Where To Eat And Drink For Free On Cinco de Mayo
Cinco de Mayo may actually be "the most wonderful time of the year." It commemorates the Mexican army's surprising victory over the French, but it has also come to represent tacos and tequila, arguably the only things I've ever truly loved. A day dedicated to eating exorbitant amounts of nachos and throwing back margaritas is a day to be cherished, and don't even get me started on my passion for churros.
Behold, a very comprehensive list of all the food and drink deals you can get on May 5 and beyond. Reminder: You can hit up multiple restaurants in a day - we have faith in you.
BAJA FRESH
Get a free taco when you join Club Baja, the brand's rewards program. Very easy.
CHEVY'S FRESH MEX
