Cinco de Mayo at Tequila Mockingbird

Overview

If you'd like to respectfully (and deliciously) celebrate Cinco de Mayo, head down to Tequila Mockingbird on Saturday, May 5. The Paddington eatery will be slinging $5 tacos and $10 margaritas right up until 5pm. Pretty good considering they usually come in at $14 and $19, respectively.

The place specialises in Latin American nosh, and if you haven't eaten there already, the Mexican day of celebration is a good reason try it out. It's got a nice little terrace that's been converted into a dining area, and a long bar leading into a warm space with wooden floors, hanging plants and gorgeous black and white line drawings of tropical fish and cacti.

And if those tacos and margaritas don't fill you up, you can also order snacks like eggplant nachos or a couple of chicken and mushroom empanadas off the menu. And get stuck into the tequila-heavy cocktail list — the bar stocks 27 types, as well as a couple of top-notch mezcals.
