Cinco de Mayo, Social Distancing Style

Four local taco joints offer Cinco de Mayo food specials, DIY margarita mix and no-contact pick-up

Social distancing orders are still in full-swing, but that doesn’t mean you can't celebrate Cinco de Mayo with a plate full of tacos and a glass full of fresh made margarita. While you might not be engaging in the loco, group shot-fueled festivities you're used to, there are several local taco joints that will provide you with all you need to get your quarantine-friendly fiesta on... just add tequila.

Cinco de Mayo falls on a Taco Tuesday... could life be any more perfect?
El Sancho Taco Shop

What first began as a humble little food truck in 2010 has blossomed into a booming brick and mortar restaurant and local favorite. El Sancho's owners and staff made a name for themselves by being both eco-conscious and resourceful: They built out their carts and location from predominantly recycled materials.


El Sancho will be offering its full menu, along with several awesome specials including a Pork Chile Verde dish. The remainder of the Cinco de Mayo specials are yet to be determined - be sure to check the website!

Pick up El Sancho’s homemade margarita mix for $6, which makes four margaritas and comes with a convenient recipe. Margarita mix flavors include hibiscus, grapefruit, guava lime, tamarindo, pineapple chili and more… all you have to cover is the tequila, lime and salt!


Order online at elsanchobend.com or call to place an order for curbside pick-up at 458-206-5973. El Sancho will be open from 11am to 9pm, regular business hours.
