For the first time, the free cab rides D.C. area residents have been able to use during major drinking holidays are now being offered on Cinco de Mayo tonight.
The Washington Regional Alcohol Program has made Cinco de Mayo — the Mexican day of celebration commemorating their Battle of Puebla victory over French forces in 1862 — its first new holiday in the SoberRide program in more than 20 years.
Those attending Cinco de Mayo soirées in the D.C. area after 4:00 p.m. will be able to call 1-800-200-TAXI for a free ride home, for a trip worth up to $30. The free rides will end at 4:00 a.m. Below is a list of some of the businesses in Arlington hosting Cinco de Mayo events. If you know of others, feel free to add them in the comments.
- Guarapo Lounge (2039 Wilson Blvd) — Starting at 5:00 p.m., DJ Ruben starts spinning and the Courthouse restaurant will serve $1 tacos. Discounts on tequila, margaritas, Dos Equis and Corona will also be available. No cover.
- Don Tito (3165 Wilson Blvd) — More than 1,000 people have already RSVP-ed on Facebook to what the new restaurant says will be Clarendon’s biggest Cinco de Mayo party. With food and drink specials, Day of the Dead face painting, sombreros, a mariachi band and more giveaways. Doors open at 2:00 p.m., and the bar expects a line.
