Cinco de Mayo in Howard County

Happy Cinco de Mayo, everybody! Where can you go to celebrate in Columbia, Ellicott City or elsewhere in Howard County? Here are a few ideas. If you have some others, please post a comment.

• El Azteca in Clarksville is at the top of our list for Best Mexican restaurant in the County. They are having "drink and food specials all day."
• La Palapa in old town Ellicott City is a cousin of El Azteca's, but larger. Not sure of what specials they're having, but Tuesdays are all-you-can-eat taco nights.
• Mi Casa on Route 40 in Ellicott City is a small but friendly Mexican restaurant and a personal favorite.
• The Pachanga Grill, further west on Route 40 in Ellicott City, is also an El Azteca cousin and is also offering drink specials for the night.
• The Frisco Grille in Columbia has a great beer and tequila selection to go with its good Mexican food menu.
  
• Sonoma's Bar & Grille in Columbia has live music from Sons of the Radio from 9:00 pm and lunch and dinner specials as well.
• The Second Chance Saloon in Columbia has taco, beer and margarita specials tonight.
• El Nayar in Elkridge has a nice selection of Mexican meals, and Tuesdays are 1/2 price burrito nights.
• If you're in more of a do-it-yourself mood, stop into Lily's Mexican Market in Columbia and stock up on all you need.
