Where to Fiesta: Top Cinco de Mayo Spots in Charlotte 🪇🎺🪗🎉🌮

 

Cinco de Mayo, known in Mexico as El Día de la Batalla de Puebla (The Day of the Battle of Puebla), commemorates a significant military victory rather than Mexican Independence Day, as is often mistakenly believed. Each year, this historic battle is reenacted in Mexico City.

 

While tacos and margaritas are part of the fun, Cinco de Mayo is ultimately a celebration of Mexican cultural pride, courage, and resilience. In the United States, it has also become a day to honor the contributions of Mexican Americans and the broader Hispanic community to our nation.

 

If you're in Charlotte, here are four great places to celebrate Cinco de Mayo.

Great info to share - I'm sure the food will be fantastic in those celebrations!

On Cinco de Mayo 1994, I was having a Mexican-themed dinner in a franchise place close to home when my water broke. Four and a half hours later, son #2 was born. So I will never forget the holiday!

Kat Palmiotti so that means you have a double celebration on Cinco de Mayo... one for your son's birthday and one for Cinco de Mayo!

Yes Nina Hollander, Broker - he came into the world at 10:33pm so he made it before May 6th!

Good morning Nina. I am not a big margarita fan but I can be enticed every once in a while to enjoy a good one. Bet Brian England can be enticed also. Enjoy your day.

Wayne Martin same here, Wayne. And if I've learned anything it's to never have more than on margarita!

Wayne Martin I am not a big margarita guy either, mainly because tequila and I got into a big fight my freshman year of college, haha.  With that being said, I remember not too long ago having a prickly pear margarita that was amazing, haha.

Lawrence "Larry" & Sheila Agranoff. Cell: 631-805-4400 good morning, Sheila... so many places in the Charlotte area... I just highlighted four of the best known. Otherwise, I'd still be writing this post in time for Cinco de Mayo 2026!

Nina, love this time of year, but oh yeah, it doesn't matter, I eat Mexican all year long.  You have quite a few options of venues to celebrate.

Nina Hollander, Broker I think that is something I think of moving to Portugal - no more Mexican food.   Hope Amazon can deliver canned green chiles, then I can make a pot.

Joan Cox we had Mexican last week... nothing to write home about even though that restaurant is always full... there won't be a repeat experience at that one for me! That was the first time I had Mexican food probably since you and I had lunch in Denver... and that must be 6+ years ago!

Nina- Cinco de Mayo festivities are fun, colorful, and delicious. I love all the food, especially the margaritas - then end all the music!  Sounds like Charlotte proudly honors the holiday.  Have fun!

Joe Mojica hi Joe... the Mexican community has grown significantly in the Charlotte area since we moved here in 1998.

I fear few things. Tequila is one of them. I believe it was not made for human consumption. lol

Hi Nina- you know where I'll be Monday for dinner. The only question is to decide which of our fave Tex-Mex places we'll dine at. 

May 02, 2025 11:40 AM
Nina Hollander, Broker

Kathy Streib hi Kathy... sadly, I've yet to find a Mexican restaurant in my area that's worth going to.

Good evening Nina,

Plenty of spots in Charlotte to enjoy Cinco de Mayo! We've already got plans for Happy Hour on Monday at a favorite Mexican place..we have so many to choose from!

Dorie Dillard Austin TX hi Dorie... I would have been surprised to hear that Austin isn't full of Mexican food and drink options.

Nina Mexico knows how to celebrate and throw a party.  Cinco de Mayo is a special festive day.

Hopefully all will have a great time and not get to wasted as 6 de Mayo is most likely another workday.

Nina Hollander, Broker

Ed Silva, 203-206-0754 good point, Ed. Hopefully no one will decide to try and make May 6th a national holiday.

Your partner in crime is correct, this is an event that I would likely enjoy attending, if I were in the area, haha.

Brian England good morning, Brian... lots of opportunities this weekend... no reason to limit it to just one.

Nina Hollander, Broker - this is a nice write-up for the locals in your area and of course, the holiday extends to all people in all states.

Here in Texas, Cinco de Mayo is a very big day too!

Nina Hollander, Broker

Patricia Feager I'd be surprised if Texas wasn't big on Cinco de Mayo. :)

Nina Hollander, Broker - Hola! You got that right! 

Muchos gracias!
