Raise a cerveza, enjoy some mariachi, dig into some delectable dishes, and celebrate Mexican heritage in Westchester County with these Cinco de Mayo plans.
For the holiday that commemorates the Mexican army’s victory over France in 1862, we thought we’d suggest a couple of spots in Westchester where you can mount your own triumph.
Blue Moon Mexican Café
Grab your friends and have a fiesta for Cinco de Mayo weekend at Blue Moon Mexican Café. The celebration begins at 3 p.m. on Wednesday with Fiesta Hour until 7 p.m. and indoor and outdoor dining is available. There will be live music performed by a mariachi band, giveaways, and drinks specials. Enjoy guacamole, tacos, and more delicious Mexican food.

Mariachi Mexico
Forget the mariachi band: You’ll hear sweet music in the fare at Armonk’s Mariachi Mexico, which will open from noon until 9 p.m. on Sunday. Patio seating will be first come, first served, but no matter where you sit you can enjoy $8 frozen margaritas, $5 imported beers, and a limited-time chef’s menu featuring chicken chipotle and carnitas tacos, enchiladas mole, bistec burritos, nopal (cactus), and a few market specials, plus plenty of guac with either chips or farm-fresh veggies.
