Cinco de Mayo
Puebla battle anniversary
Cinco de Mayo is May 5th, a Mexican holiday commemorating the 1862 Battle of Puebla, when Mexican forces defeated the French army.
In the United States, it has become a broader celebration of Mexican culture and heritage, often marked with parades, music, and food—though it is sometimes confused with Mexican Independence Day (September 16th).
The restaurant hosts a Cinco de Mayo party every year.
