Cinco de Mayo 2024 food and drink deals, freebies

Cinco de Mayo, or May 5, falls on Sunday

NBCUniversal Media, LLC

On Sept. 16, 1810, priest Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla delivered the “Grito de Dolores,” a fiery speech that launched the 11-year struggle to end Spanish colonial rule. That date is celebrated as Mexican Independence Day…though some Americans might think that’s what Cinco de Mayo is for. Andi Resendiz explains the difference.

Cinco de Mayo, or May 5, is Sunday -- and while we aren't celebrating Mexico's Independence Day, it's a great excuse to indulge in some delicious food and drinks.

Although the holiday celebrates Mexico's victory over the French Empire at the Battle of Puebla in 1862, the holiday has grown in popularity in the United States, with some businesses offering free tacos and discounted margaritas.

Here are the deals we know about for Cinco de Mayo 2024:
