For the first time since 2019, Cinco de Mayo falls on a weekend. So take advantage and celebrate two back-to-back days of fun with delicious Mexican food and activities around Calgary.
Cinco de Mayo is a popular Mexican holiday, and every year, Calgarians toast the occasion with mouth-watering food and refreshing beverages. Mucho Burrito is helping make that happen with a sweet deal — a $6.99 burrito offer, available all Cinco de Mayo weekend. Here’s how you can make the most out of Cinco de Mayo weekend.
Throw a mini fiesta
Host your own Cinco de Mayo party. Make sure your decorations are bright, colourful and full of life. Spruce up your home with cacti to give it a hot desert feel, look for napkins and tablecloths with traditional prints, and blow up red, green and white balloons. Curate the perfect playlist of Mexican artists to create a celebratory vibe. Invite friends and family to dance the night away to new-to-you music.
And of course, it can’t be a true fiesta without lots of delicious food. You’ll save big (and impress your guests) when you take advantage of the $6.99 burrito special and order from Mucho Burrito. All burritos are completely customizable so everyone at the party is sure to find flavours they love.
Meat lovers can have their pick from chorizo, pork carnitas or in-house marinated and chargrilled chicken while vegetarians can opt for the plant-based crumble and cheese. Whether you throw your fiesta on Saturday or Sunday, in true Cinco de Mayo fashion, you can feed your guests at a great price with the weekend-long special.
Have a Cinco de Mayo picnic at Prince’s Island Park
Celebrating Cinco de Mayo can be done in small simple ways, too. Pack the picnic blanket and stop by Mucho Burrito to pick up some $6.99 burritos. What better way to celebrate than along Calgary’s beautiful Bow River.
Burritos make for perfect picnic food — choose from Mucho Burrito’s range of proteins and toppings galore including roasted chickpeas and pickled onions, and the all-natural, house-made salsas such as pico de gallo or grilled pineapple to build the perfect burrito combination for each of your picnic guests.
