Red Robin is celebrating with a Strawberry Basil Margarita and a taco Tavern Burger Double (for $6.99.) TGI Fridays will roll out a Blackberry Buzz Rita, which is a variation of its Blackberry Margarita. Lyft has also gotten in on the party. The ride-sharing service teamed up with Tostitos and Sabra Guacamole. People can pick up a specially marked Tostitos bags and Sabra Guacamole packs with the Lift Logo, and they come with a coupon for $10 off a ride.
FYI: Cinco de Mayo is not Mexican Independence Day. That’s September 16th. Cinco de Mayo celebrates the Mexican resistance to the superior forces of the French. The Mexican army pulled off a major victory at Battle of Puebla, so it’s a day of national pride. Fun fact – it’s celebrated more in the U.S. than Mexico, and the holiday is more American than what people think. Of course, the best way to celebrate is to hit up a local Mexican restaurant or make some tasty drinks at home. Either way — ¡Feliz Cinco de Mayo!
