Arriba! Today is one of our fave Mexican fiestas, so there’s no better way to celebrate than with two for one margaritas at our favourite taco joint, Taco Local!
If you haven’t heard, today is Cinco de Mayo, and here in Bali, that means celebrating Mexican culture in the only way we know – with plenty of tequila, of course! So to mark this raucous occasion, this week’s edition of Happy Hour of the Week takes us to our fave roadside taco joint, where margaritas are two-for-one every Saturday from 5pm – 7pm, and Taco Tuesday rolls around just three days later!
We’re talking about Taco Local in Seminyak, the cute and quirky Petitenget taqueria that, in our opinion, serves some of the most authentic South of the Border bites in Bali. After all, the brand was only brought to the island once Jakarta’s impossible-to-please foodies gave it multiple thumbs up – thanks guys!
But it’s not only the too-good-to-be-true tacos and drool-worthy burritos that keep us coming back for more – Taco Local’s margaritas sit seriously high on our must-sip lists, so much so, that the signature Cilantro Margarita is one our favourite cocktails in Bali – EVER. So you can imagine how many celebratory tequilas we sank when we heard that these signature superstars became part of the bar’s weekly Happy Hour.
Though we highly recommend the Cilantro Margarita [it’s served frozen with bush-upon-bush of fresh cilantro muddled throughout] you should also try the classic margarita – or even two. With a very generous serving of Jose Cuervo, it’ll have going loco ‘til late screaming “¡Viva Mexico!” with one tequila, two tequila, three tequila, four!
Happy Cinco de Mayo!
Taco Local, Jl. Petitenget No.12, Seminyak, p. (+62) 361 7979900. Open daily 12pm – 12am.
