Cinco de Mayo 2026 falls on Taco Tuesday, May 5 and restaurants across the U.S. are celebrating with food and drink deals tied to the May 5 holiday. National chains including Chipotle, Taco Bell, Chili’s and 7‑Eleven are rolling out discounts on tacos, burritos, margaritas and Mexican‑style meals.
While Cinco de Mayo is often confused with Mexican Independence Day, it actually commemorates Mexico’s victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla in 1862. In the U.S., the day has become closely associated with restaurant promotions and specials.
Many of this year’s offers are available for a single day, while others stretch across several days surrounding the holiday. Deals may vary by location and often require rewards memberships, app orders or minimum purchases. Customers are encouraged to check individual restaurant terms and local participation before ordering
