Are you the type of person who needs an excuse to drink on a random weekday? If so, Cinco de Mayo happens to fall on a Wednesday and we can’t think of a better excuse to drink more Corona’s than a Dominic Toretto cookout and grab yourself a few orders of tacos to break up the mid-week blues. Fortunately for Chicagoans, there are a myriad of Cinco de Mayo specials going on around the city so you feel right at home despite being north of the border.
Take a look at just a few of our favorites on deck for Cinco de Mayo 2021 right in your neighborhood.
