A Fiesta of Flavor


With this weather, it’s not surprising that I’m dreaming of margaritas on Cabo San Lucas. But this coming Saturday (May 5), Cantina Laredo brings Mexico to South Florida for Cinco de Mayo.

Putting a 21st century on this traditional celebration of Mexican heritage and pride, Hallandale Beach’s Cantina Laredo’s street party will feature live entertainment by LIV regular DJ Marc Adams and appearances from the gorgeous girls of Maestro Dobel, Corona, Cointreau and Cabo Tequila.

The street party will feature outdoor bars with $4 beers, $8 Casa Ritas, $11 Margaronas (a margarita with a Corona) and $8 tequila shots. If you’re like me and your stomach cries “Ole!” for great Mexican food, then you can enjoy two-for-$3 chicken or beef tacos.

At Cantina Laredo in Palm Beach Gardens, Tairon Aguilera will perfrom high energy Latin dance music while dancers from Alexander’s Ballroom will demonstrate their hottest moves. Specials include Dos Equis bottles and drafts for $4.55. Do not miss out on their amazing margaritas- the Cinco Mas ‘Rita ($11.50) blends five tequilas flawlessly with Cointreau, lime juice and agave nectar for a smooth finish while the Sweet Heat ‘Rita ($11.50) packs a punch with strawberry purée and Monin habañero lime.


If you head inside the restaurants, then do as I do and splurge on Cantina Laredo’s fantastic guacamole made table-side ($9.99) or satisfy your sweet tooth with Mexican Apple Pie ($6.79), a slice of pie prepared tableside in a skillet with Mexican brandy butter and a scoop of decadent cinnamon ice cream. Another sweet selection is the fluffy Tres Leche ($6.99) with blueberries and a mango cream sauce. Who needs Cabo San Lucas, anyway?
