Five Authentic Mexican Restaurants to go to for Cinco de Mayo

It’s time to put on your sombreros and knock back a Dos Equis in celebration of Cinco de Mayo. Don’t forget to order extra guacamole!

  • Villa Del Sol, 36 Elm Street, Westport: Authentic Mexican dishes can be paired with a wide selection of Sangrias, Mexican beers or margaritas. The Golden Iguana margarita sounds particularly enticing.
  • Tequila Mockingbird, 6 Forest Street, New Canaan: With an ambiance termed ‘eccentrically Mexican’ on their webpage, this restaurant imports the dried chilies used in their dishes straight from Mexico.
  • Rio Border Café, 330 Connecticut Avenue, Norwalk: Cinco de Mayo is their biggest holiday of the year.  The Mariachi band will start playing live music at 6pm and there will also be t-shirts and other giveaways.  
  • Southwest Café, 109 Danbury Road, Ridgefield: Mariachis will be plucking the strings of their guitars while diners enjoy Santa Fe/Southwest/Mexican Cuisine on this celebratory holiday. Outside seating is available, but take note: all seating is on a first come/first serve basis.
  • Viva Zapata, 550 Riverside Avenue, Westport: The kitchen at this popular Mexican restaurant is open on Cinco de Mayo for lunch from 11:30am to 3:30pm and then for dinner from 5 to 10:30pm. Just looking to celebrate with cervezas? The cantina is open from 11:30am all the way through to closing at 1am.

British soldier was hacked to death with a machete. The soldier is not allowed to have a gun but theRead More terrorists had a firearm but chose to behead the soldier. The suspects spoke to camera after attack. “We swear by Almighty Allah, we will never stop fighting you until you leave us alone. The only reasons we killed this man is because Muslims are dying daily. This British soldier is an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. We apologize that woman had to see this today, but in our lands our women have to see the same. You people will never be safe. Remove your government. They don’t care about you.”

Israel knows who their enemy is and are not afraid to call them out. After 4 Americans were killedRead More by terrorists in Benghazi, when violence in the Middle East was raging, President Obama in partnership with Hillary Clinton spent $70,000 in taxpayer money on a commercial that aired on Pakistani television apologizing for the "video." We are sorry. We are going to get the man who made the video who exercised freedom of speech and arrest him. Any terrorist suspects questioned yet?

PR - It appears that the writer of this item is none other than McMurphy who has been polluting theRead More Patch since the new format arose (just click on the writer's name and you will be taken to McMurphy's profile page). This person is also Randall McMurphy and all the old names including AZ. From all indications, he/she is also DB Cooper so this person is posting on this Board and then commenting on his/her own posts. As someone pointed out a couple of weeks ago, trying to trick other readers is a violation of the Patch's rules, and yet it continues.

@DB Cooper: Oh, you mean how you used your multiple personalities and screen names to flag me intoRead More oblivion? The thing is, it won't work this time. Try again, stalker. Try harder. LOL! You don't have enough fake personalities this time around to do such a thing. Thanks again for stopping by my blog. :) LOL! Hook, line, sinker.
