Where to Celebrate Cinco de Mayo in 2021
Any reason to celebrate is the perfect reason to celebrate right now. If you like tacos, tequila, pinatas, or even guacamole, Cinco de Mayo is for you. We’ve rounded up the best options in Boston, from tequila tastings, patios, to your own roof deck and backyards.
The Patios
Cosmica: A South End neighborhood spot adjacent to the Revolution Hotel, is hosting a Taco and Margarita Party, where everyone can take a wack at the pinata. There will be music a white hot pepper eating contest and food and drink specials. Cosmica serves Cal-Mex cuisine and vacation cocktails. With the lack of travel right now, doesn’t a vacation cocktail sound pretty good right now? cosmicaboston.com
Naco Taco: This 100 seat patio in Central Square offers the classic taco options including fish, chicken, chorizo and pulled pork along with innovative creations. nacocentral.com
Tezmecal, Seaport: Claiming to be Boston’s original tequila cantina, Tezmecal’s Northern Blvd allows for waterfront views on their patio and through their floor to ceiling windows. Often a stop on our Sundress and Tie patio tour, their one of the few locations we found taking reservations for Cinco de Mayo. https://www.temazcalcantina.com/locations/seaport/
