Baja Joe’s Mexican Cantina to throw weekend party for Cinco de Mayo

Mesa, AZWhy wait until Sunday to celebrate Cinco de Mayo? Baja Joe’s Mexican Cantina is kicking off its two-day holiday party Saturday.

The fun will start with a special happy hour (usually limited to weekdays) from 3-7 p.m. in the bar. After 7, there’ll be additional drink specials, including $3 for all 16-ounce drafts, $10 buckets of Tecate and Tecate Light, $5 for 16-ounce house margaritas, and $3 Cuervo shots.

Random prize giveaways will include T-shirts, novelty items, and “the kitchen sink.” A DJ will be playing music from 7 until close.

On Sunday, the northeast Mesa restaurant and bar will offer the same drink specials again in the bar all day.

And another party is on the horizon: A 2,600-square-foot addition to the Baja Joe’s bar area – which will feature big-screen TVs, pool tables, dart boards, a dance floor, and a stage for live music – is expected to open in mid-May.
