10,000 Expected Attendees, Lafreniere Park, May 5, 2025

2016- Los Jefes Grill burst onto the Metairie scene with proprietor Oscar Chimal's first taqueria. The restaurant expanded over the years, and so has its signature event- Cinco de Mayo Fest. Once just a block party on Edenborn in front of the restaurant has become one of the year's biggest parties. Thousands of taco-and-tequila lovers converged on Fat City Park to celebrate Mexico’s victory over France at the Battle of Pueblo by drinking copious amounts of tequila and dancing the night away.

Past events included live music by top local and national acts like Honey Island Swamp Band, DJ Mannie Fresh, and the Molly Ringwalds. VIP tickets include all-inclusive food and drink packages, plus additional entertainment under a 60' x 120' Big Top.

Cinco de Mayo Fest is now the signature Cinco event in New Orleans/ Metairie and officially the region's biggest Cinco de Mayo festival. Last year's two-day celebration included over 10,000 patrons, and this year's Cinco de Mayo is expected to draw over 10,000 festival-goers in the expanded space at Lafreniere Park.
