Cinco de Mayo is the celebration of the Mexican Army’s unlikely victory over the French in the state of Puebla in 1852. Today, Chicago has many celebrations of its own being such a culturally diverse city. Start your Saturday at the Cinco De May Parade on Cermak from Wood to Kedzie. The festivities begin at noon. A great place to celebrate Cinco de Mayo with a traditional Mexican meal is Su Casa Mexican Restaurant (49 E. Ontario, 312.943.4041). Su Casa offers a number of appetizers, salads, fajitas and traditional Mexican fare. Their lunch menu contains scaled down portions perfect for a mid-day meal any weekday. Su Casa also offers a number of desserts, including their very own flan. Make sure to order a margarita to get into the spirit of the day!  Patron’s Hacienda (316 W. Erie, 312.642.2400) is another good spot to get some traditional Mexican food. Patron’s has a number or appetizers to snack on before entrées arrive and the restaurant is known for its tacos. Guests will want to sip their signature drinks including the La Tamarita Margarita, a spicy twist on the classic drink.

Su Casa Mexican Restaurant is open Sun.–Thurs., 11am–12am; Fri.–Sat., 11am–1am. Patron’s Hacienda is open Sun.–Fri., 5pm–12pm; Sat., 5pm–10pm.
