Red Lobster Offering a Cinco Rita Deal for Cinco de Mayo. Here Are the Details

Red Lobster is offering a special deal for its customers for Cinco de Mayo. Since the holiday is today, it can be considered a one-day-only deal, featuring an iconic drink for just $5. Let’s take a look at what we know about this deal.

Red Lobster and the Cinco Rita

According to TODAY, Red Lobster is offering $5 Cinco Ritas for Cinco de Mayo. The Cinco Rita is a $5 margarita made with lime juice, triple sec, and tequila. The deal is available at all locations nationwide, except for the location in Times Square, New York, and all of the restaurants in Hawaii.

The once-fledgling business also offers a few ongoing meal deals alongside the promotion. For $19.99, fans can get a three-course Shrimp Sensation meal, including a soup or salad, shrimp appetizer, and shrimp entree.

As fans know, Red Lobster recently emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy with a new CEO and a new menu and has enjoyed quite a resurgence in popularity since.

And of course, Red Lobster isn’t the only restaurant offering Cinco de Mayo deals.
