Cinco de Mayo Celebrations Abound At Ocean Casino Resort

Ocean Casino Resort is the premier destination to kick off your Cinco de Mayo celebration in Atlantic City.

If any chef in Atlantic City knows what type of cuisine truly represents Cinco de Mayo, it’s the man behind Distrito, Chef Jose Garces. The restaurant already celebrates the dynamic culture and the stellar cuisine of Mexico City regularly, but Chef Garces is elevating that even higher to craft the perfect Cinco de Mayo menu. This year’s offerings include a unique Swordfish Taco alongside a vibrant Angry Red Cabbage. Both Pico de Gallo and Chilli Crema are included in this year’s offerings as well.

Amada is one of Chef Garces’ other locations within the Ocean Casino Resort, and the Spanish ambiance alongside picture-perfect Mediterranean details make it a stunning location to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. This year, Amada is offering a uniquely delicious Pernil Empanada (Amada’s take on the standard pulled-pork empanada) alongside a perfectly prepared Artichoke Escabeche.

Harper’s is the go-to brunch spot at the resort, and the skyline views and succulent gardens are the perfect locale to enjoy Cinco de Mayo brunch. Harper’s offering this year features Iberico Chorizo Frittata with Shaved Manchego, along with Baby Kale & smooth Piquillo Crema. Of course, any visit to Harper’s is not complete without their signature French press coffee.

Already known as one of the best spaces to get your Italian fix in Atlantic City, Rocco’s Italian Kitchen & Market is has crafted a truly one-of-a-kind Cinco de Mayo dish; a pizza crafted after the holiday, aptly titled the Cinco de Mayo Pizza! Crafted with a combination of Queso Mixto, Chorizo, Poblano Peppers, Black Bean Corn Salsa, and Avocado Creme all add that perfect combination of spicy and smooth, making this option both festive and decadent.

If you’re looking to start off your Cinco de Mayo celebration at the crack of dawn, the one of the most famed spaces for breakfast on the Ocean Casino Resort is Café 500. While their Daybreak Specials are a consistent way to super-charge your day, their Cinco de Mayo specials add that extra holiday kick you need to make it through a full day of celebration. Start the day with a serving of Chorizo Eggs Benedict along with vibrant green Spinach, both served with Smoked Paprika Hollandaise

Villain & Saint is already known for a rocking and rollicking environment, but the Cinco de Mayo selection this year offers an equally potent and flavorful  selection. This year’s holiday offerings feature Ceviche de Camaron alongside succulent Shrimp, plump Spicy Tomato, Avocado, and the always required Plantain Chips.

American Cut will offer a double dose of Cinco de Mayo celebration this year with two varied options that showcase the best American Cut has to offer. The Cut Hour addition features a brilliant turn on their signature dish with a Beef Taco, alongside Cilantro Chimichuri, wonderfully tart Pickled Poblano Pepper, Avocado, and Queso Fresco. The Entrée Special that American Cut is offering consists of their Ribeye Cap, Serrano Relish, Tequila Lime Pesto, alongside their signature Crispy Plantains.
