Southwest Florida Cinco De Mayo Dining Deals

The big holiday falls on a weekend this year and if you're looking for Southwest Florida Cinco De Mayo deals for dining out, you're in luck. There's plenty to choose from.

If you're going to be celebrating, at least you should know the reason why. Right? According to Wikipedia "Cinco de Mayo is a yearly celebration held on May 5 to celebrate Mexico's victory over the Second French Empire at the Battle of Puebla in 1862, led by General Ignacio Zaragoza." It's also interesting to know that the holiday is a lot more popular in the United States than it is in Mexico. We just see it as a reason to party, case in point - why do we celebrate St. Patrick's Day in Florida?

Before we even get to Cinco De Mayo, there's May the Fourth, the annual Star Wars holiday. I don't know if there's any particular way to celebrate May the Fourth other than wear a Star Wars t-shirt when you go out on Saturday, I guess that's enough. Here's mine.

There's a lot more to this holiday than just tacos. There's festivals, pub crawls, even Sunsplash is getting in on the fun. Have a look here: 9 Things For Cinco De Mayo Weekend In Southwest Florida.

With day to night celebrations beginning on Friday, May 3 through Sunday, May 5, holiday festivities feature live entertainment, mariachi music, captivating stilt walkers, delicious Mexican cuisine, Rocco's handcrafted cocktails and signature margaritas, beverage collaborations, and much more. Rocco's Tacos is elevating the typical holiday experience with sampling opportunities of over 300 varieties within its tequila library with the largest selection in Florida. Tequila and mezcal offerings are available for sipping, within Rocco's signature cocktails, margarita pitchers, and tequila flight samplings.

It's not as flashy as some of the other ones, but if you just want some cheap tacos, Taco Bell has them.

Rewards members in the Taco Bell Rewards program can get five crunchy or soft tacos for just $5. But you need to plan ahead, not just roll up to the drive through after stopping at Trulieve. You must order online or through Taco Bell's mobile app. It's also limited to one per customer.

Chipotle's promotion is already under way. They're offering free delivery. Just use the code CINCO24 at checkout. And yes, guac is extra. C

TF has a $5 menu. Here's what you can get:

They also have a special sauce “Smack the Reaper’s Ass,” which may actually kill someone it's so hot. Now, if you want to pick up something to go,  they have 50 percent off 8-pack margaritas, available for pick up orders between 6pm – 11pm on Cinco De Mayo with a $130 minimum food purchase.  

Now, we don't normally think of Hooters when we think of Cinco De Mayo, nut if they have deals, we should tell you. $5 Patron shot, Legendary Rita or Dos Equis Big Daddy. Also, I didn't see it on their website, but according to WFLA, Hooters has a combo deal with two Legendary "83" Margaritas and a plate of Tex-Mex Nachos for $20.    

Welcome To Moe's! Moe's has $5.55 Build-Your-Own Burritos and Bowls but you have to join their Rewards Members program. But, you can get the Homewrecker with this deal so unlike Chipotle, the guac is not extra. 

Sure, they have a special, but the real excitement came earlier this week when Dave & Buster's announced that they were going to let us bet on games. You better at pop a shot than your friend?
