Here is a list of Cinco de Mayo events and specials from eateries across North Texas.

The restaurant s Cinco de Mayo celebration kicks off at 3 p.m. on Wednesday with street tacos as well as other food and drink specials including a Frozen Paloma. HG s fiesta will also include a Titleist bag raffle, a piñata, a fortune telling machine, a live mariachi band, and a DJ from 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
Cinco de Mayo celebrations began this weekend, but there s still plenty of partying left to do on Wednesday. And while you’re not too likely to come across many explanations of the holiday’s historic significance, there will be some honest attempts to honor Mexican culture.
From free drinks and flashy fiestas to tequila tastings and taco plates, Dallas bars and restaurants will celebrate Cinco de Mayo the best way they know how, in all its fabulous flavors, and we’re all be better off for it. (At least until Thursday comes.)
