    I need nachos for breakfast now.

    • Amber (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      LOL! Me too Katrina! I was just thinking the same thing! 😉

  2. Jane

    So I’m assuming that Cinco de Mayo is a party hardy holiday – not much in the way of non-alcoholic offers LOL!

    • cat

      Just another excuse to get drunk.

  3. LC

    Yummmm this made me so hungry!

  4. Kim

    Do you know if Tijuana flats have $2 tacos all day?

    • Rebecca

      My email said $2 tacos & Mexican drafts all day Friday, Sat, Sun. I’m in NW FL, could differ by location.

  5. Rebecca

    My Tijuana Flats always has drafts B1G1 so I don’t think I’d be saving anything there. I have been wanting a trio though…

  6. rebecca

    Cafe Rio has FOUR TIMES rewards points on burritos all day in their app! (so if you ate there and got 2 burritos and drinks, you’d be almost all the way to getting next meal free/ $10 reward.)
    i don’t know if you’ll get any additional incentives by using a referral code when you download the app, but here’s a referral code if you want: Rebecca6277

    • Erica Delavega

      4x is pnly for the cost of the burrito… I know I got all the excited too then read the fine print

      • rebecca

        right, so 2 burritos (if you were there on a date night, or having lunch with a friend) would get you around 80 points all by itself. that’s 4X return on your burritos. if you had any drinks or extras on your order would nearly put you to the next $10 reward.

  7. rebecca

    Margherita pizzas are only $5 all day today at Pizza Studio.
    they have a good app reward program, i get free pizzas there regularly as rewards.
    also, when i downloaded their app, i used someone’s referral code and was rewarded with a free drink. you could try mine and see if you get that free drink to go with your $5 pizza: Rebecca329

  8. Alicia M

    I just got an email from PF Chang’s too that says

    “5/5 only, mention this ad and get lettuce wraps for only $5 (limit one per table, chicken or vegetarian, +$1 for gluten free) until 5 pm.”

    Great offer for early or midday if you aren’t wanting tacos! 🙂

  9. AJ

    According to Hungry Howie’s website…”Offer not valid in the state of Florida.”

  10. jami

    Where do I go to get this deal? New to this app

    • Holly (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      You would need to go to each restaurant to grab these. Hope that helps!
