It’s safe to say tequila will be flowing freely this weekend, as herds of Houstonians make plans to hit restaurants and bars in celebration of Cinco de Mayo on Monday, May 5. Beginning Thursday before the weekend and lasting well into the wee hours of Monday night, festivities will ensue, during which party-goers can take advantage of taco and tequila specials, free concerts, and even a free margarita festival.
In Houston, and beyond, Milagro Tequila is a spirit of choice among many for its bright and fresh agave flavor. This weekend, the company is going the extra mile to showcase the spirit’s depth and range with tequila samplings, inspired takes on margaritas, and sips served out of the custom Milagro Tequila cart, which is popping up around town.
While Milagro Tequila populates bar shelves in countless establishments across the greater Houston area, consider these restaurants and bars celebrating the spirit in fine fashion this Cinco de Mayo.
