It\u2019s the year of the bunny. The bad one, specifically. This week, Benito Mart\u00ednez Ocasio, AKA Bad Bunny, took home a Grammy for Deb\u00ed Tirar M\u00e1s Fotos\u2014the first-ever Album of the Year in Spanish.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore I say thanks to God, I\u2019m going to say ICE out,\u201d he said onstage, one of several acceptance speeches mentioning Immigration and Customs Enforcement. \u201cWe\u2019re not savage, we\u2019re not animals, we\u2019re not aliens. We are humans and we are Americans.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a powerful tone setter for this weekend. In case you hadn\u2019t heard, there\u2019s a football game happening before and after his concert this Sunday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Whether the Seattle Seahawks or the New England Patriots score more points, Bad Bunny is taking home the W at this year\u2019s Super Bowl, because Puerto Rico est\u00e1 bien cabr\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

These spots confirmed to CL that they\u2019ll show the game and crank it up for Benito.<\/p>\n

Latin Grill Tampa<\/a><\/p>\n

There might not be anyone in Tampa Bay more prepared for this year\u2019s halftime show than a certain Latin Grill employee. The club\u2019s celebrity lookalike performers range from Pitbull to Selena, but this Sunday it\u2019ll be all about Bad Bunny (or a guy in a plastic mask that looks like him<\/a>). His performances will include a collaboration with \u201cShakira\u201d and \u201cJennifer Lopez\u201d to recreate their 2020 halftime show. Guests can watch the game on huge LED screens and sip on a Bad Bunny Moscow Mule<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Cinco Soccer<\/a><\/p>\n

Tampa\u2019s cathedral of soccer has a giant four-screen display plus other TVs scattered inside and outside the clubhouse. \u201cAnd we just installed brand new soundbars,\u201d second-generation owner Zander Rados told CL, adding that the grill will be running as well.<\/p>\n

Pal Campo Restaurant\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

This North Tampa spot is part of a four-location Florida-based chain and boasts a menu rooted in Puerto Rico. A Latin band usually plays on Sundays, but the music will pause for a halftime show that will \u201cbe loud for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wepaa Puerto Rican Bar and Restaurant<\/a><\/p>\n

This Pinellas County gem of Puerto Rican cuisine is already taking reservations for a party that will feature the show on full blast.<\/p>\n

Santos Kitchen + Lounge<\/a><\/p>\n

Santos hosts its usual R&B Brunch with DJ Danny in Downtown Tampa, starting at 11:30 a.m. until they turn the game on. Expect Benito to be blasting.<\/p>\n

Triana Caribbean Cuisine<\/a><\/p>\n

The Puerto Rican spot is rolling out game-day specials on wings, beers and sandwiches. \u201cIts gonna fun, just come on over,\u201d an employee told CL over the phone.<\/p>\n

More Latin bars and restaurants showing the game:<\/p>\n
