Cinco de Mayo is just around the corner and there’s every reason to be excited about the holiday that’s centered around good food, music and general joie de vivre.
You might be thinking – this is a great idea to hit up your local restaurants to enjoy some Mexican food, guzzle down some margaritas and cerveza, and have a merry time – buuuut are you prepared to handle the long wait time and queues?
