Contrary to popular belief, Cinco de Mayo does not symbolize Mexican independence, it’s a commemoration of when the Mexican army defeated France at the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War in 1862. This day is actually more popular in America than it is in Mexico.
So if you’re celebrating with your friends fiesta-style today, there are tons of restaurants serving up special deals!
