Hola todos! Monday marks Cinco de Mayo. Do you even know why you gorge yourself on Latin food and tequila? Well, before I tell you where to go, I'm going to tell you to click here for the full history...I'm too busy to spell it out for everyone. :)
Events:
Ole (11 Springfield St, Inman Sq., Cambridge) - Cinco de Mayo is celebrated at this beloved restaurant in many ways this year - the traditional $25 all you can eat buffet (drinks are not included), and now the back room will be filled with people interested in the new a la carte dining they offering. I'm thinking Dim Sum Mexican Style. There is music and tons of fun at this place. Maybe I'm biased...after all, I've been celebrating Cinco there for the past two years.
Olecito (across from Ole) - If you and the boy or girl in your life want to watch the game and drink in your house, grab a burrito (the steak is de-lish, and I've heard the pork is too) and some corona and dance in your living room to Shakira. Though she Colombian and not Mexican, I know she is the only Latin artist you have. Don't lie.
La Verdad - (Lansdowne Street, below Lucky Strike & Jillian's) - Cinco de Mayo fiesta starts around 6:30pm at this yummy venue. The tacos and burritos are delicious, esp the fish tacos. And the drinks are so good I could get drunk off their margaritas and not realize it. If you are looking to avoid Fenway and are looking for a good date place? Try Ken Oringer's Toro. Taps as yummy. More Spain than Mexico, but still.
The Place to go to make out at the end of the night - Cactus Club, Boylston Street. This is definitely the venue to go to for drinking only on Cinco de Mayo. It's gonna be packed. Be prepared. BUT if you do go, go after work - Monday-Thursday, 4pm-7pm, appetizers are 50% off at the bar. Arriba!
Masa (439 Tremont Street, South End) - Masa is celebrating Cinco de Mayo all month with fun stuff, like food. And they have brunch buffets at $7.95 all the time. But, they are advertising a Mariachi band on Monday.
Beehive (Washington Street, South End near BCA) - Beehive is having a special a la carte menu and live entertainment.
OK hombres. feliz cinco de mayo!

gracias - I've looked everywhere ...
Also, note that the "Cinco de Mayo Restaurant" in Chelsea relocated to Lynn, and while under construction, aficionados are going to the owners' other restaurant in Revere: "Pancho Villas" on centennial ave near T stop @ shirley st.
