In a town just a short drive from the Mexican border, Cinco de Mayo is a celebration taken seriously (simple Tecate and taco specials just don't cut it). Chefs and bartenders are putting unique spins on the holiday to stand out of the pack, from Venga Venga's grasshopper-infused guacamole to a real tattoo contest for free Taco Tuesday for life at Puesto.
Say hola to these 15 options we found throughout the county that are sure to induce Tuesday morning hangovers, with some revving up the fiesta as soon as Saturday.
