Eight locations will feature a Mexican theme (with each spot focusing on a specific, popular Mexican destination) and spectacular drink specials, with $3 Dos XX, $3 Juarez Margaritas, and $5 El Mayor drinks. Free sombreros will be given out, as Mexican costumes are encouraged. Giveaways and prizes, including a new I-Pod Touch, will be awarded.
