Cinco de Mayo, the celebration of a historic battle during the Franco-Mexican War, has in recent decades evolved into a holiday celebrated by folks of all cultures (not unlike, perhaps, the March 17 celebrations intended to honor the death of Ireland’s patron saint), frequently at Mexican restaurants and bars. In fact, some local restaurants say that May 5 is typically one of their busiest days of the year.
But not this year, as May 5 will still put the Bay Area 26 days from the end of its current shelter-in-place order, which was first enacted on March 16 to slow the spread of the new coronavirus (COVID-19). However, just because your favorite Mexican spot’s dining room is dark doesn’t mean that the holiday is out of reach — it just means that, as with every other aspect of pandemic life, it has to be celebrated at home, with takeout or delivery. Here’s a guide to specials at some of the Bay Area’s biggest Cinco de Mayo destinations...and this year, you won’t even have to take an Uber to get safely home when you’re done with the celebration.
Celia’s by the Beach has been closed by the pandemic, but they’re reopening on May 5 to serve takeout margaritas out of one of their windows. Hours are noon–9:00 p.m.
El Techo de Lolinda has temporarily shuttered its rooftop for the pandemic, and recently kicked off takeout from Barvale (661 Divisadero). On Cinco de Mayo get Caviar delivery for $5 off with code E3HKEW.

Caviar delivery of the rest of their menu is $5 off with the code T0PYFG, and if you stop by and buy a gift card of $75 or more, they’ll throw in two free margaritas on Tuesday.
