Places to hit up This Cinco de Mayo in Downtown Tempe

The month of May has begun, so you know what that means... Cinco de Mayo festivities are approaching! Whether you celebrate the Mexican Army's victory over the French Empire at the Battle of Puebla by snacking on tortilla chips and salsa, or by sipping on a couple of frozen margs, Downtown Tempe is the perfect place to be for Cinco De Mayo (and always, duh!).

Here are a couple of can't-miss places to hit up:

Pedal Haus Brewery

Cinco de Beach Cruiser in the Haus! $7 Haus Margarita, $5 Beach Cruiser Mexican Ambers and $9 taco specials! Live music from 4-7pm.

Also, don't miss out on a chance to WIN a custom Pedal Haus branded beach cruiser bike! Must be present to enter the contest.

Get your outfit handled before the weekend hits. Knee Deep Denim is stocked with Cinco de Mayo-themed tees and tanks with fun, bold sayings, and you can even build your own look ahead of your Tuesday Cinco plans!

Taco Chelo

Their first-ever patio fiesta is happening and it’s checking all the boxes with the all-day happy hour, DJ from 6–9 PM, outdoor cerveza bar, and live grilling from the chefs!
