For many Chicagoans, Cinco de Mayo is a great opportunity to enjoy special renditions of traditional Mexican dishes.

Exclusively for Cinco de Mayo, from the Mexican countryside of Puebla, Guanajuato is offering Bistek Ranchero, a delicious steak stew cooked slowly in a tomato sauce with garlic, onions and potatoes, served with drunken beans and Mexican rice.

Mexican celebrations wouldn’t be complete without tequila and Guanajuato offers guests a selection of more than 40 tequilas including blanco, reposado, añejo and some extra special selections. Most of the tequilas are priced at $7-$9 per shot, but the best tequilas, which can be compared in quality to fine aged cognac, are priced from $15.50 to $71. These special tequilas are served in a snifter to bring out the best of the magnificent bouquet and can be savored by the shot or as an ingredient in a creative selection of specialty cocktails and margaritas.

Honoring their love of tequila, Guanajuato offers patrons a number of cocktails and margaritas including a Tamarind Margarita, a unique sweet and sour flavor with a hint of chili pepper spice, and their infamous Acai Margarita, made from acai, fresh lime juice, pomegranate juice, tequila, simple syrup and Citronge.
