"Located a block from the parade starting route, this Mexican mainstay has a bevy of Pride events and a new cocktail menu celebrating five historical LGBTQ+ icons; $1 from each Tito’s-sponsored Sylvia Rivera goes to The Capital Pride Alliance. On Thursday, June 9, Vida Fitness throws a happy hour from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., or until the keg is kicked. On Saturday, June 11, Tico keeps parade attendees satisfied with to-go quesadillas, snacks, and cocktails sent through open storefront windows. On Thursday, June 16, Tico welcomes Catoctin Creek’s Whiskey Unicorn Fairy for an 80s-themed party from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m." - Evan Caplan
"For Cinco de Mayo, Tico is serving margaritas, ranch water, nachos, ribs, and twin tacos for $5 each, available in the dining room and bar. On May 6 through 8, diners can take advantage of the same specials in the bar only." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"The 14th Street mainstay plans to open its window bar from 1 p.m. until 9 p.m. on Tuesday, serving margaritas by the pouch and whole pitchers of classic, hibiscus, mango, and prickly pear renditions. DIY margarita kits are also available. Starting at $50, fixings include a bottle of tequila, triple sec, lime juice, house hibiscus and prickly pear syrups, limes, and salt." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"The Latin American restaurant on 14th Street makes more than 500 portions of cinnamon churros ($10) per week. They come with dulce de leche, dark chocolate, and strawberries." - Lani Furbank
"Tico is a lively, slightly upscale Latin spot in Back Bay that does big business after work, when a lot of people who work for insurance companies suddenly need a lot of margaritas. You’re not going to find particularly outstanding tacos and small plates here, but everything is competently made, and, surprisingly, the burger is actually one of the best in the city." - Dan Secatore
