What is the Significance of Cinco de Mayo?
Happy Cinco de Mayo, our favorite day of the year here at High Tide Taco Bar! While most people know that Cinco de Mayo translates to the fifth of May, not everyone knows the true significance of the holiday. Cinco de Mayo is not Mexican Independence Day, which is often where the confusion manifests. On the 5th of May in 1862, Mexico triumphantly won the Battle of Puebla against France, and that is why this day is so highly esteemed. Though it is celebrated only minorly in Mexico, Cinco de Mayo has become a day recognized in America for the celebration of Mexican heritage and culture.
