Celebrate Cinco de Mayo at Antojitos Authentic Mexican Food with Food, Drinks and Live Entertainment. There are plenty of reasons to celebrate throughout the year, but Cinco de Mayo is one that always brings great food, fun energy, and a reason to get together. If you are planning to be near Universal CityWalk, there is one spot that should absolutely be on your list. Antojitos Authentic Mexican Food is going all out, and honestly, it is the kind of celebration that just feels right from the moment you walk in.
Cinco de Mayo marks an important moment in Mexican history, celebrating the victory at the Battle of Puebla back in 1862. But beyond the history, it has also become a day to enjoy culture, music, and of course, some incredible food. And that is exactly what Antojitos is bringing to the table this year.
They are offering a lineup of special dishes for the day that you will not find on a typical visit, along with a few fun extras that make the whole experience feel like an event rather than just a meal. From noon until close, you can dig into exclusive menu items, soak in the atmosphere, and even grab a sweet bonus treat that is definitely worth saving room for.
Special Cinco de Mayo Dishes
If you already love Mexican food, you are going to feel right at home here. And if you do not, this is honestly a great place to start. Antojitos has always done a great job of bringing bold flavors to the table, and for Cinco de Mayo, they take it up another level.
One of the standout items is the street elote. If you have never tried it before, this is your moment. It is grilled corn on the cob loaded up with jalapeño aioli, queso fresco, Tajín, Flamin’ Hot Cheetos, and cilantro. It is messy in the best way possible and packed with flavor.
Then there are the tacos, which might be the easiest recommendation on the list. You can go with al pastor, chicken tinga, or nopales, all topped with fresh ingredients that keep every bite balanced and full of flavor.
They also have a baked potato that leans fully into that Mexican twist. Think loaded potato, but topped with your choice of tinga or carnitas, along with queso, pico de gallo, and fresh herbs. It is simple, but it works.
Of course, you cannot skip the guacamole and chips. It is fresh, it is classic, and it is one of those things you end up ordering even when you did not plan to.
For something on the sweeter side, the Mexicali pops are a must. You can choose from mango chamoy or strawberry lime, both bringing that perfect mix of sweet, tangy, and a little bit of spice.
And to wash it all down, the aguas frescas are exactly what you want on a warm Florida day. Options like horchata, jamaica, and lime cucumber keep things refreshing and light.
Entertainment and Atmosphere
It is not just about the food either. Starting in the afternoon, the energy really picks up with live entertainment both inside and outside. There are dancers, stilt walkers, and music throughout the evening that makes it feel more like a full celebration than just dinner plans.
A Sweet Bonus Stop
If you are still craving something after all that, there is a fun extra nearby at Voodoo Doughnut. They are offering a special margarita themed doughnut just for Cinco de Mayo, filled with citrus flavor and topped with a tequila inspired icing and a little kick of spice.
This is one of those events where everything just comes together. Great food, a fun atmosphere, and a reason to celebrate. If you are looking for a place to spend Cinco de Mayo this year, Antojitos is definitely worth checking out.
