Although many people still think 5 de Mayo is the celebration of Mexico’s Independence Day, it is the celebration of the Mexican army’s victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. Anyhow, just because it happened in Mexico, doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate it here in Miami. So get your sombrero, and get ready to eat, drink, and party like a Mexican!

For all the tequila, and Mexican food fans, mark down your calendars because it’s going to be a fun day with all the events going on.

Fête du Cinco de Mayo will be in Coconut Grove and it will include Mariachis, drinks, and prizes at the four participating restaurants on the area. This celebration starts at 8pm and lasts until 12am.

Come to the newest Mexican hot spot in Miami: Mercadito Midtown Restaurant. This new restaurant offers traditional Mexican food with a gourmet twist and it’s little more spicy than typical. Of course, Mariachis will be there to entertain guests along with 12$ “Vato Loco” drinks and $5 tequila shots. 3252 NE First Avenue Miami, FL 33137. Ph: 786.369.0430
