Always a Minx Society favorite, the uber trendy Loteria is celebrating Cinco de Mayo with a selection of special appetizers including empanadas made with corn masa and special drinks not on the regular menu: a cucumber margarita, a beet and orange margarita and an apple paloma. Don’t forget to try their famous shredded beef tacos and spicy jalapeño margaritas!

Serving their full menu and flaming margaritas until 2 a.m., the famous and authentic El Compadre is definitely going to be rowdy tonight! If you’re with a big group, go for the appetizer platter, which features the restaurants very best (grilled shrimp, chimichangas, quesadillas and carne asada).

Over 300 kinds of tequila at the bar and a Mexican wrestling theme throughout, what more could you ask for? El Carmen is a fabulous place to mingle (closely) and get hammered.

Silver Lake’s Malo is hip, hip, hip. Famous for their melt-in-your-mouth “chewy” chips and to-die-for ground beef pickle tacos (weird combo, right?) and stiff drinks; join sexy musician/artist/hipster types as they celebrate in style.
