Mexican restaurants throughout Massachusetts are ramping up for Cinco de Mayo, on May 5, in a different way this year. While state orders keep their doors closed for dining-in during the coronavirus crisis, many have turned to extended delivery and takeout options. Margarita kits, and even michelada kits (sans alcohol) have already made their way onto online menus for patrons to get festive from the comfort of their own homes. Now, some, including the 10 below, are now offering beer and wine as those restrictions were recently lifted.
This is by no means a comprehensive list. There are several Mexican food establishments throughout the state of Massachusetts that are offering delivery and takeout during these times. Visit the websites and social media of your favorite restaurants to find out how you can show your support.
