On May 5, 2026, the celebration of Cinco de Mayo coincides with Taco Tuesday, resulting in a flurry of food and drink deals across Daytona Beach. This unique alignment not only promotes Mexican culture but also encourages local dining.
Cinco de Mayo marks the Mexican army’s victory over the French at the Battle of Puebla in 1862. Today, it’s celebrated more vigorously in the U.S. than in Mexico, often featuring discounts on tacos and margaritas.
Notable offers include:
- BJ’s Restaurant and Brewhouse is serving Brewhouse Margaritas for just $6 during happy hour.
- Chipotle provides free chips and queso or guacamole with an entrée purchase using code CINCO26.
- Moe’s Southwest Grill is giving away a free side of queso with any entrée purchased in-store.
Additionally, Barnhill’s is hosting a festive celebration with taco specials priced at $19 and margaritas for $6. Boot Hill Saloon will offer $1 Jello shots, $2 tacos, and house margaritas for $5.
The excitement doesn’t stop there. Costa Del Sol Cantina plans tequila tastings and a taco-eating contest, while Flagler Tavern will host one of the largest Cinco de Mayo parties featuring live music and special taco deals. These events promise to draw crowds eager to indulge.
As the day approaches, many wonder how these promotions will impact local businesses. With such enticing offers available, it’s likely that many will flock to enjoy this cultural celebration—especially given the added appeal of Taco Tuesday.
