Multiple LocationsMercardo Juarez in Arlington and Fort Worth will have mariachi bands from 6:45 – 7:45 p.m. on Cinco de Mayo and $5 margs all day.

The Mexican

1401 Turtle Creek Blvd. This flies in the face of our budget-friendly options for Cinco de Mayo, but we’re more curious than anything. The upscale Mexican restaurant in the Design District has an elevated way to toast the holiday: The Zapata Cocktail made with Casa Dragones’ anejo tequila (which retails for around $170 a bottle); Grand Marnier Cuvee du Centenaire ($200 a bottle); lime (with tariffs, who knows) and citrus gold salt. This will set you back $150. Emilio Zapata, whom we assume this is named for, famously said, “It is better to die on your feet than live on your knees.” We’re not sure how that segues into a $150 drink, but cheers!

Miriam Cocina

Dallas and Coppell locationsBoth locations will be pouring $8 frozen or rocks house margaritas and $8 watermelon Mexican candy shots. Soak it all up with an accompanying $5 taco special, where you can choose from smoked chicken, beef short rib, crispy pork belly or vegetable.
