Cinco de Mayo: Where to get discounted food, drinks in honor of the holiday
(NEXSTAR) – This coming Cinco de Mayo, we think-o you might-o want a discounted burrito or two.
Ahead of Sunday’s celebrations, several popular restaurants are offering promotions on Mexican-inspired food and drink, with one even giving out T-shirts to the first customers of the day. Some of these deals extend beyond Cinco de Mayo, just in case you’re hoping to scarf down discounted dishes all weekend long.
Take a look below to find a deal near you, then get ready to sink-o your teeth into a Cinco de Mayo feast.
