While Cinco de Mayo is day that honors Mexican independence and heritage, it’s also commonly celebrated by getting stuffed with food and drink. And with that comes the opportunity to take advantage of tie-in promos. Here’s a round-up of some national restaurant chains with discounts and freebies on offer for May 5:
7-Eleven customers can purchase a small Slurpee drink for $1 and get four mini tacos for free when ordering through their app.
Abuelo’s is offering all-day drink specials, including an $8.95 Flag Margarita and $5 margaritas, plus a free shaker you can take home with the purchase of an El Jefe Margarita.

Tomorrow, McDonalds is giving away a free Caramel Brownie McFlurry through its mobile app at participating restaurants nationwide, but the deal is only valid May 4, so you can pre-game for Cinco with a bit of ice cream.
Taco Bell seems to be getting the jump on Cinco de Mayo promotions by giving away food a day early as well; on May 4, they’re offering a free Crunchy Taco as part of the company’s “Taco Moon” promotion.
