Welcome to Cinco de Mayo 2020: Quarantine Edition. Needless to say, the worldwide novel coronavirus pandemic is going to put a serious damper on Cinco de Mayo celebrations this year. While there’s no way anyone in his or her right mind will be gathering with friends and family this year to celebrate, there are still plenty of great deals available at all the nationwide restaurant chains that normally offer freebies and discounts for Cinco de Mayo. Needless to say, however, there is one big difference between this year’s Cinco de Mayo deals and past years: In 2020, all the deals are available for takeout only.
As it always does, Offers.com has scoured the internet and assembled all the best Cinco de Mayo deals from national restaurant chains. There are plenty of discounts to be found this year, and you’ll even be able to score some free tacos from a couple different spots. There’s also one particularly creative Cinco de Mayo deal this year.
Taco Del Mar is running a 5-pound burrito challenge for Cinco de Mayo 2020. Since you obviously can’t eat in the restaurant, participants will have to film themselves gorging on this massive burrito in order to prove they were able to finish the burrito in less than 30 minutes. The prize? Anyone who can pull it off will be added to the 5 Pounder Burrito Challenge wall-of-fame. What an honor.
