Cinco de Mayo, or the 5thof May, is a celebration of the battle between Mexico and France in the battle of Puebla, over the Franco – Mexican War. It’s typically a day in America where people of all races take the time to go out and have a fiesta, grub on some tacos, or down a margarita in celebration of our neighbors to the South.
