Miami will be pouring a lot of tequila this Sunday, May 5

Don’t know where to celebrate Cinco de Mayo this weekend? We’ve got you covered.

Enjoy a Big Fiesta at Diez y Seis

This Cinco de Mayo, head to Diez y Seis {1901 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach; 305.455.3872} for “The Big Fiesta,” a joint Cinco de Mayo and One-Year Anniversary party! During this festive afternoon, expect $3 Tacos, Cheese Quesadillas, and Red Velvet Churros; $4 housemade Guacamole; $5 Pilsners; and $10 Margaritas and Frozitas. DJ-extraordinaire Damaged Goods will be on the turntables for most of the afternoon, and just for the occasion, a live mariachi band will put on a good show. Olé! This event will run from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Have a very happy day at M House

M House {2524 Le Jeune Road, Coral Gables; 786.369.5155} might be a chic, coastal European restaurant—but on Cinco de Mayo, it’s heading southwest. In honor of the special day, go there for an all-day happy hour that starts with brunch and runs until close. While you’re there, get some of the spot’s most popular cocktails at half the menu price, like the tequila-infused The Khaleesi: a mix Patron Silver, Solerno blood orange, and fresh lime juice. This happy hour will run from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.  

Get quite the garden party at The Standard Spa, Miami Beach

This year, celebrate Cinco de Mayo at The Standard Spa, Miami Beach {40 Island Avenue, Miami Beach; 786.245.0880}. At its “Fiesta en el Jardin” party, you can wander the gardens while feasting on self-serve stations with guacamole, nachos, and steak, chicken, and veggie tacos. To really get in the fiesta spirit, Casamigos Tequila will be on hand whipping up festive, Mexico-inspired cocktails: like the Garden Agua Fresca with Casamigos Silver, hibiscus tea, orange, and Peychaud’s Bitters; the El Diablo with jalapeño-infused Casamigos Silver, cucumber, aloe, lime, and sugarcane syrup; and Tan Lines, which mixes Casamigos Reposado with pineapple, cilantro, and Limeade. This event will run from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. All-inclusive tickets are priced at $50 per person and can be purchased here.

Make it a Taco Sunday at The Taco Stand

Who says you can only have tacos on Tuesday? This Cinco de Mayo, head to The Taco Stand {313 NW 25 Street, Wynwood; 786.580.4948} and get your Taco Tuesday specials on a Sunday… all day long. Think: $2.50 Grilled Chicken, Al Pastor, and Veggie Nopal tacos, $3 cervezas, and more. To really make it a party, go between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. and catch a live mariachi band.

Go brunching in Mexico at CORSAIR kitchen & bar

AtCORSAIR kitchen & bar {19999 West Country Club Drive, Aventura; 786.279.6800}, enjoy a Mexican-inspired brunch both Saturday, May 4, and Sunday, May 5. Rumor has it there will even be a “Michelada bar.” Brunch will run from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. It is priced at $52 per person, plus an additional $8 per person for the bottomless Michelada bar.
