Cinco de Mayo Restaurant Recommendations
Beaumont – Port Arthur – Lumberton – Lufkin – Sam Rayburn
Did you know Cinco de Mayo is a bigger holiday in the United States than it is in Mexico?
It’s true.
Cinco de Mayo (The 5th of May) celebrates the date the Mexican army won the Battle of Puebla against France during the Franco Mexican War in 1862.
If you didn’t know that, no problem. In Texas, the holiday has become more of a celebration of Mexican food, drink, and culture.
If you’re looking for a place to celebrate this year, here are a few of our reader favorites:
- Café del Rio Lufkin. This is a big, family friendly, restaurant offering large portions, giant margaritas, and family friendly service.
- Juan’s Restaurant Lumberton. What this restaurant lacks in size, it makes up for in friendly service and a staff that takes time to make relationships with regulars.
- La Suprema Restaurant Nederland TX. Four generations of family recipe and hospitality make this a perennial favorite with Mid County families.
- Mi Pueblo Silsbee. This restaurant has really found an audience with Silsbee natives returning time after time.
We hope you enjoy your Cinco de Mayo.
