Every Tuesday is a good excuse to crush some Mexican beer and tacos. But tomorrow it's not only Taco Tuesday, it's also Cinco de Mayo -- a holiday that might not mean much in Mexico, but has become a widely-accepted excuse to get drunker than usual in the middle of the week.
So, to help you celebrate Cinco de Drinko as cheaply as possible we've rounded up ten food and drink deals available on Tuesday, May 5 around metro Phoenix. Cheers.
