For those looking for a Cinco de Mayo celebration, two Palisades eateries—Tallula’s and Qué Padre—have the community covered.
Tallula’s, which is located in Santa Monica Canyon at 118 Entrada Drive, is hosting a Cinco de Mayo Fiesta on Friday, May 5, from 4 to 10 p.m.
“A DJ will be spinning tunes from 6 to 9 p.m. to get the party started,” according to information shared by the restaurant. “In addition to the usual menu, we’ll have a bunch of stations set up outside, including a satellite bar with hibiscus, spicy and classic margaritas, a taco cart firing up carnitas tacos and chicharrónes, and Mexican street fruit cups.”
Reservations are “highly recommended,” but walk-ins are available in Felix’s Bar, as well as on the patio.
Tallula’s will also offer takeout and delivery on May 5, with a Cinco de Mayo Fiesta Pack available for $155, which “which feeds six and includes crowd-pleasers like a 12-piece Taco Bar with carne asada, chicken, shrimp, veggies and all the fixings, an eight-piece Cheese Quesadilla, DIY Nachos ‘Sencillo,’ and Churros.”
Those who order to-go will have the option to add jars of margaritas, palomas, seasonal aguas frescas or mixed cerveza packs.
Pre-orders are available online through Tallula’s website or Tripleseat by May 4 at 8 p.m. for pikup and delivery on May 5.
