Spice Up Your Cinco de Mayo at Hard Rock Cafe London

This May, get ready to fiesta like there’s no mañana as Hard Rock Cafes in London turns up the heat for Cinco de Mayo! From 1st–5th May, both iconic locations – Old Park Lane and Piccadilly Circus – will be celebrating with a limited-edition menu full of flavour-packed dishes, vibrant cocktails, and festive vibes.

Cinco de Mayo, which translates to the 5th of May in Spanish, marks the anniversary of Mexico’s victory over the French Empire at the Battle of Puebla in 1862. While rooted in history, the day has evolved into a broader celebration of Mexican-American culture, heritage, and pride – all across the world! 

Whether you're in the mood for bold bites or giant margaritas, Hard Rock’s exclusive Cinco de Mayo specials promise a taste of Mexico right in the heart of London.

Limited-Time Food Specials

Chips & Queso – Hard Rock Cafe's legendary rendition features warm cheese sauce topped with seasoned ground beef, fresh jalapenos, spring onions and served with crisp tortilla chips – a perfect accompaniment to the festivities. (from 12.95)

Add guacamole from £4.95 or add Pico de Gallo for £2.96

Steak & Chicken Queso Fajitas – Sizzling platters of grilled chicken and steak served with onions, peppers, Pico de Gallo, feta cheese, guacamole, shredded lettuce, charred corn, pickled onion, sour cream and warm tortillas. (from £21.95)

And for the ultimate celebration, join us on Monday 5th May at Hard Rock Cafe Piccadilly Circus for a live mariachi performance by the incredible, Mariachi Óle - a professional Mexican mariachi band based in London. With over 15 years of experience each, their talented musicians bring the vibrant folk sounds of Mexico to life with traditional instruments like the guitar, bass guitar, and trumpet. Mariachi Óle has performed across the UK and Europe, and they’ll be bringing an authentic taste of Mexican culture and music to Hard Rock Cafe Piccadilly Circus from 18:00-18:45.

Cinco de Mayo only comes once a year – so grab your amigos, book a table and raise a glass (or a jumbo margarita) to good times, great food and unforgettable vibes – all in true Hard Rock style.
