What's the most popular restaurant in Dallas for Cinco de Mayo?

You could measure a restaurant's popularity on Cinco de Mayo by checking its liquor sales, perhaps. Or by counting the sheer number of people who come through the door during business hours. Another way to look at Cinco de Mayo popularity is to track the number of places a transportation company like Lyft most regularly dropped off or picked up.

Because, hey, a safe ride on a day known for drinking is a good thing.

Below is a list of Lyft's most popular spots in D-FW on Cinco De Mayo, as pulled from Lyft's May 5, 2017 dropoffs and pickups inside the company's D-FW coverage area. While Lyft's data isn't the full picture of which bar or restaurant is the most popular on Cinco de Mayo, it's one good indicator.

Note that most -- eight -- are Tex-Mex or Mexican restaurants, as expected. Interestingly, though, one is a driving range and another is an outdoor bar.

Here are Lyft's most popular spots in D-FW on Cinco de Mayo:

1. Mi Cocina in Highland Park Village

2. Meso Maya on McKinney Avenue in Dallas

3. Blue Goose Cantina on Greenville Avenue in Dallas

4. Topgolf on Park Lane in Dallas

5. Gloria's Latin Cuisine on Bishop Avenue in Dallas

6. Taqueria La Ventana in the Dallas Farmers Market

7. Mattito's on Oak Lawn Avenue in Dallas

8. Chuy's on McKinney Avenue in Dallas

9. Truck Yard on Sears Street in Dallas

10. TNT Tacos and Tequila on Routh Street in Dallas
