There will be several fiestas taking place around the area this Saturday for Cinco de Mayo. Patch has picked five fun ways for you to celebrate. Go loco!
- Start the Party Early: Start the Cinco de Mayo celebration one day early by attending a party Friday night at the Plattduetsche Park Restaurant, located at 1132 Hempstead Turnpike in Franklin Square, catered by Gonzo’s Mexican Grill of West Hempstead. The party will go from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. on May 4 Admission is $7, plus the price of food and drinks. Click here for details. (Ofcourse, you can also enjoy Gonzo's delicious burritos and other favorites at its location on Nassau Boulevard on May 5 too.)
- Score a Free Tee: Moe's Southwest Grill in Garden City will be giving away free T-Shirts to the first 100 customers who come in on Saturday.
- Savor Authentic Flavors: El Catracho Restaurant and Bar in West Hempstead and El Mariachi in Rockville Centre are both great, local restaurants that serve up authentic Mexican dishes.
- Margaritas, Anyone?: Whether you prefer sweet or salty, frozen or on the rocks, traditional or a more exotic concoction, you'll go loco for the margaritas served up at Cabo in Rockville Centre. The drinks are a local favorite and the atmosphere of the bar will make you feel like you're on Spring Break in Mexico.
