Celebrate Cinco de Mayo at Besito Mexican

On Thursday, May 5, enjoy authentic Mexican fare and hand-crafted margaritas!

This Cinco de Mayo, Besito Mexican, the highly-acclaimed Mexican restaurant located at the Burlington Mall and The Shops at Chestnut Hill, invites diners to celebrate everyone’s favorite Mexican Holiday with two limited-edition food specials.

As Cinco de Mayo revelers imbibe the spirit of the holiday with one of Besito’s stand-out margaritas, such as the El Pepino Margarita, hand-crafted with Avian Blanco tequila, cucumber, jalapeno, Cointreau, agave nectar and fresh squeezed lime, the restaurant’s culinary team is excited to offer two food specials, created exclusively for the holiday. Seafood lovers are in luck, as Besito will serve a Queso Fundido con Langosta, a lobster-enhanced version of its signature Queso Fundido appetizer. The dish features succulent Maine lobster, tinga rajas, queso Chihuahua and cilantro, and is best enjoyed with Besito’s house-made tortilla chips. As an entrée special, Besito is offering a Pescado en Salsa Verde, boasting a pan-roasted filet of Halibut served with grilled queso asado, roasted potato gratin, avocado and salsa verde.

In addition to the regular menu, Besito’s Cinco de Mayo specials will be available all day on Thursday, May 5.
