Cinco de Mayo is almost here and we are definitely ready to party it up. Celebrate the annual fiesta with delicious food, drinks, and the best vibes at these restaurants and bars in Toronto.
In case you didn’t know, Cinco de Mayo is not Mexican Independence Day (that’s in September). This holiday celebrates the Mexican defeat of the French army in 1862.
Now that we’ve got that cleared up, let’s dive into our roundup of festivities going on in Toronto this Friday.
