Cinco de Mayo 2026 Las Vegas & San Diego | $5 Margaritas & Free Tacos | Tacotarian
Cinco de Mayo only comes once a year. And this year, Tacotarian is making it worth showing up for.
We're talking $5 margaritas all day. We're talking a chance to win free tacos for an entire year. We're talking the best plant-based Mexican food in Las Vegas and San Diego, on the one day of the year when everyone is looking for exactly that.
Here's everything you need to know.
The Deals
Let's get straight to it.
$5 Margaritas All Day
On May 5th, margaritas are $5 at every Tacotarian location — all day, all six locations, Las Vegas and San Diego. Classic lime, ice cold, and the best $5 you'll spend all year. No code needed, no minimum order. Just show up.
Win Free Tacos for a Year
Loyalty members who dine in on Cinco de Mayo can enter to win free tacos for a year. Not a month. Not a gift card. One dorado taco every day for a year, on us.
Not a loyalty member yet? Sign up before May 5th so you can enter. It takes two minutes and the upside is twelve months of free tacos. That math works.
Why Tacotarian for Cinco de Mayo
Cinco de Mayo deserves real Mexican food — not the chain-restaurant approximation, not the frozen margarita mix situation, and definitely not a place where the only vegan option is a side salad with the cheese taken off.
Tacotarian is 100% plant-based Mexican food made the right way. House-made seitan al pastor marinated in achiote and pineapple. Jackfruit birria braised in rich, smoky consommé. Scratch-made proteins, fresh tortillas, and salsas that actually taste like something.
This is the Cinco de Mayo meal worth having. And with $5 margaritas, it's also the one worth coming back from.
What to Order on Cinco de Mayo
Go all in. This is the one day a year where ordering everything is not just acceptable — it's encouraged.
Jackfruit Birria Tacos The dish that made us. Jackfruit braised low and slow, served with house-made consommé for dipping. If there's one thing to eat on Cinco de Mayo at Tacotarian, this is it. Order a round for the table.
Seitan Al Pastor House-made seitan with achiote and pineapple. The taco that turns skeptics into regulars. Order it alongside the birria and let people decide their favorite — it's a conversation that lasts the whole meal.
Takis Elote Street corn with chili-lime mayo, queso fresco, cilantro, and crushed Takis. Cinco de Mayo energy in side dish form. Get two.
Asada Fries Refried beans, house nacho cheese, pico, crema, jalapeños, and guac on fries. The shareable plate that disappears faster than any other thing on the table. Order it early.
Queso Fundido Good Planet cheese fondue with poblano peppers, corn, onion, mushrooms, and pico. The perfect thing to have in front of you while the first round of $5 margaritas arrives.
Churros End on a high note. Always.
