You may not realise it but May 5 is a special day. It's the day that Columbus landed in Jamaica, Coco Chanel released Chanel No.5 and Mexican troops halted a French invasion. And while we do love reggae and nice smells, the Mexicans have turned Cinco de Mayo into a real celebration of food, drink and music. Which provides you with just the excuse you needed to suck down some midweek Coronas and get some comida Mexicana down your gizzard. Here's our pick of the top five spots for tacos and tequilas this Cinco de Mayo:
Guzman y Gomez
Cheap, fast and cooked fresh to order, this is casual dining at its tasty best.
