Odds are you may not have the fixin’s for a proper Mexican meal stocked up in your cupboards, but don’t fret. These spots — some of the city’s best — are offering takeout and delivery on this May 5, Cinco de Mayo, Taco Tuesday collaboration:

Over the years, La Carnita has gone from being an independent taco shop to a taqueria chain with multiple outposts throughout the city, a location in Winnipeg and even one in the US. And for good reason; diners just can’t get enough of the spot’s epic tacos. This year, this spot is offering order-ahead service for food and booze pickup at the John Street location. On the menu are burritos, bowls, taco kits, street corn, and Margarita kits, too.
