You Can Score $5 Burritos and Coronas at These Mexican Eateries Next Week

Cinco de Mayo is the annual May event celebrating Mexican culture and heritage. Although a relatively minor holiday in Mexico (compared with el Día de los Muertos), it has become a huge holiday in the US — and Australia has cottoned-on to the festive day, too. To celebrate, nationwide Mexican chain, Guzman y Gomez, is offering up $5 burritos, bowls and Coronas all day on Sunday, May 5.

Taking place in-store at all Guzman y Gomez stores around Australia, the $5 promotion will be limited to either two burritos, breakfast burritos, mini burritos or burrito bowls per person, per visit. The $5 Coronas will be fair game though and available at all of the chain's licensed outposts.

Historically, the holiday commemorates the Mexican army's victory over the French at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. But now Cinco de Mayo has grown into a day that celebrates many facets of Mexican culture, particularly the country's culinary feats.

Guzman y Gomez's $5 promotion will be available at all Sydney and Melbourne stores on Sunday, May 5. To find your closest location, head to the website.
