Free Tequila, a Mexican Food and Drink Fiesta + More Cinco de Mayo Events to Bookmark
The Mexican holiday is best celebrated in the company of great eats and sips.
(SPOT.ph) Not that you need an excuse to fill up on hearty food and dranks—but it's especially rightful to do so on Cinco de Mayo, the traditional Mexican holiday held every May 5th to commemorate the country's victory over the French during the historic Battle of Puebla in 1862. Looking to join in the festivities without having to fly out of the city? Consider these upcoming events and offers from some of Manila's best-loved restaurants.

Here's where you can celebrate Cinco de Mayo 2023 with a (damn-delish) bang:
Cinco de Mayo at The Mess Hall
Bring the gang over to The Mess Hall this Friday, 7 p.m. onwards, as the folks of The Moment Group are serving up cocktails (at P299 for two), beers (get three bottles for P250), and shots (for P99 a pop!). In between sips (or guzzles, let's be real) you can also dig into their pica-pica and mains; choices include the Manam Crunchy Salt & Pepper, Nachos, 8 Cuts Burger Bomb, Caramelized Patis Chicken Chop, and more.
The Mess Hall is at G/F Karrivin Plaza, 2316 Chino Roces Avenue Extension, Makati City. You can also check out The Moment Group's Facebook page.
