competition and with the lights, the music, the stage, this sounds like a great time.

Puerto Vallarta in Orange is going big for Cinco De Mayo. They are having dj’s all day, a ton of
drink specials and food specials as well. The food here is very good, I remember shooting at
this location a couple years back. Great service, this will be a must-do on Cinco De Mayo.

of their house margaritas will be $8 all night long. For tapas, they are having chicken and potato
tortillas with chipotle crema, cabbage and salsa verde. They’ve added a Mediterranean sea
