The Top Places To Celebrate Cinco De Mayo In Astoria.

By sonia Posted: May 6, 2016

It’s that time of the year again when we celebrate the Mexican Army’s unlikely victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, and, not Mexico’s independence day which is celebrated on September 16th. Unfortunately, somewhere down the line and across the border, we lost sight of that and embraced the holiday of celebrating the victory of tequila over sobriety.

Whichever reason you choose to celebrate, our top three picks will put you in a festive and imbibing mood – 21+ and please fiesta responsibly.

First up we have El Olivo:

El Olivo

El Olivo is a family owned, traditionally Spanish-inspired tapas restaurant that has been a staple of the Astoria community for more than 20 years. A quaint little center of Spanish cuisine with a vibrant character, El Olivo prides itself on serving the finest food with the warmest smiles. To celebrate, El Olivo is offering $6 Margaritas and $7 Tapas, all day long! Now, that’s a victory worth celebrating.
