Cinco de Mayo is not only a day of celebration, but also a day filled with free food and discounts.
Every year on the fifth of May, Mexico celebrates the anniversary of the Battle of Puebla, which took place on May 5, 1862. During the battle, the underdog Mexican soldiers defeated 6,000 French troops led by Napoleon III. Mexico’s victory prevented the French from aiding the Confederacy in America’s Civil War.
