Why wait until Thursday to celebrate Cinco de Mayo?  Begin a night early on Wednesday evening at La Descarga.  The celebration begins at 8 pm and runs until close.  You can expect tequila and mezcal drinks and shots all night long. These bebidas include the "Wet Baquiri", "Kraken Micheladas" and more that were too top secret to be revealed in advance.

For your listening and dancing pleasure, none other than StreetGourmetLA aka Bill Esparza will be leading the band all night long.  DJ Henry Helix will also be spinning his sweet tunes.  Providing food will be the Camarena Taco truck, which will park outside from 9:30-12:00.  If you get there early, word on the calle is that there is free food for the early arrivals.

Other surprises are in store for revelers.  Make reservations while you can, as La Descarga fills up and this is sure to be a fun fiesta.
