Where to celebrate Cinco de Mayo in Bethesda?
Where else but at a Mexican restaurant, right?
I'm picking Guapo's as the top spot again this year. Once again, they are having an actual mariachi band perform, which means actual Mexican atmosphere. There will be specials on food and adult beverages, and mystery giveaways. No word if the Budweiser Girls will appear again this year.
8130 Wisconsin Avenue. 301-656-0888.
There's also Tia Queta, whose owners are actually from Mexico. They'll have specials, including beer specials on Budweiser and Bud Light (not Dos Equis or Corona?!). The restaurant also features one of the only two rooftop patios in downtown Bethesda, should the weather cooperate. Let's hope construction at That 70s Building next door takes the day off Sunday!
4839 Del Ray Avenue. 301-654-4443.
Once again, Uncle Julio's at Bethesda Row is keeping quiet about its specials this year. But we already know they have great nachos, margaritas, and their house special Swirls. As well as outdoor seating.
4870 Bethesda Avenue. 301-656-2181.
Alas, Bethesda's newest Mexican restaurant, Plaza del Sol, has closed.
Everyone deserves a good margarita this Sunday. Except "that guy" at the table who proclaims Cinco de Mayo is "Mexican Independence Day!"
Check that history book!

For whatever reason I can't stand mariachi bands. Tia Queta rooftop for me
