Nothing says Cinco de Mayo in Arizona  like a 10-gallon sombrero and five-pound chihuahua.

Looking for something fun to do this Cinco de Mayo weekend in Phoenix metro with your dog?

Check out the  Cinco de Mayo Festival & Chihuahua Races in Chandler, where there will also be a crowning of the King and Queen Chihuahua. All proceeds will go to help HALO Animal Rescue save homeless pets.

Or in central Phoenix there’s the Chihuahua talent show at Aunt Chilada’s restaurant. In addition to having delicious chips and salsa, Aunt Chilada’s has long been a dog-friendly restaurant.

Speaking of dog-friendly restaurants, we’ve got a number of dog-friendly restaurants, including Salty Senorita and others, that are sure to be great places to down a margarita or two.
