Los Feliz: The LES' tequila labyrinth will be offering some specialty cocktails this Wednesday. The six drinks include the Los Feliz Classic for $8, the Hibiscus with Chinaco Blanco tequila and hibiscus reduction for $9, and the Chipotle Michelada tequila and mezcal, chipotles, and sangria, poured over Negra Modelo. That one's $12, and it sounds like it'd just take one to get you doing the Mexican Hat Dance in front of all your friends. In case you want to pad your stomach a bit first, there are 10 types of tacos (including foie gras), plus ceviches, quesadillas and fresh guacamole. 109 Ludlow Street, 212-228-8383

It's that time again. Time to take out the tequila, teach yourself how to make guacamole (again), and stock up on limes for your Coronas. That's right, it's the anniversary of the triumphant Battle of Puebla in 1892! More commonly known as Cinco de Mayo in America, the unlikely victory over French forces is cause for celebration for Americans and Mexicans alike, if just for the excuse to don some crazy sombreros. Or if you're not into that, you could just say you're celebrating the half-anniversary of Guy Fawkes day. Click on the photos above for some restaurant and bar specials around the city in honor of the great victory.
