Week of May 1st

Margarita Madness!  No one celebrates Cinco de Mayo quite like Loco Taqueria & Oyster Bar. This neighborhood taco joint goes all out with the 3rd annual Five Days of Cinco from Monday, May 1 – Friday, May 5. The five-day fiesta is packed with festive menu additions, giveaways and so much more. The lineup kicks off with a special party on May 1 at 9:30PM and starts to get a little loco with beats from Boston-based DJ Johnny Dow. Guests can shuck the night away with signature oyster specials from visiting restaurants like Neptune Oyster Bar and North Square Oyster. Tickets are $5 and may be purchased at the door.  The fun doesn’t stop there. Loco cranks out a wild line up each night of the week with margarita pitchers and their weekly Taco Tuesday menu additions, a “Cisco de Mayo” tap takeover from Cisco Brewers on Wednesday, Boozy Snow Cones on Thursday, and concludes with the Ultimate Cinco Celebration with contests, giveaways, prizes, piñatas and more on Friday, when Loco opens their doors early at noon.
