Cinco de Mayo Margarita Deals That Are Worth Leaving the House For

I wish Applebee’s Dollaritas were still available. That too-good-to-be-true deal flutters in and out of grasp year to year would have made my job too easy, but instead I had to scour the internet for Margarita deals that are actually happening this Cinco de Mayo (Tuesday, May 5, 2026). I’ve come out on the other side, ready to share the good news with my fellow Margarita fanatics. They may not be $1, but here are some pretty good Cinco de Mayo Margarita deals.

Chili’s

All day on Cinco de Mayo, Chili’s is slinging Patron frozen Margaritas for $7, classic Margs for $5, and the Margarita of the Month—which has popping boba in it—for $6.

TGI Fridays

TGI Fridays is celebrating Cinco with $5 classic Margaritas all month long (it’s called Margarita Maynia—get it?). It’s no Dollarita but it’ll still do the job! If you’re feeling adventurous, they’re also serving a Pineapple Mezcal ‘Rita, a Dragon Fruit Margarita, and something called the Fri-Yay ‘Rita.

Islands

The West Coast burger chain is serving special flavored Margaritas all month (May 4-May 31), including coconut and prickly pear, for $10 each.

BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse

Hit up happy hour at BJ’s on May 5 and get $6 Margaritas from 3-7 p.m. and again from 9 p.m.-closing. Don’t forget the Pizzookie, too.

Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar

The questionably named Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar will be serving $5 Bad Ass Margaritas on Cinco de Mayo. I, as a margarita expert, will need to head over to test out if it’s worthy of such a name.

Taco Cabana

From May 4 through May 10, the Tex-Mex chain is serving up your choice of any two tacos and a Margarita for $8.99 or six flautas and two Margaritas for $12.99. On May 5 only, Taco Cabana will be selling Margaritas and strawberry margarita pie for as low as $1.50.

Fuzzy’s Taco Shop

This Cinco de Mayo, Fuzzy’s Taco Shop is offering $10 Half Yard Margaritas alongside tacos starting at $2.50.

Ojos Locos Sports Cantina

Ojos Locos Sports Cantina is offering $3 house margaritas all day long on Cinco de Mayo!

Chuy’s Tex-Mex

Chuy’s is celebrating Cinco de Mayo with $6 house Margaritas and $9 grande house Margaritas. A choose-your-own-size adventure!
