In honor of the upcoming Cinco de Mayo I thought I would provide you with a list of local Mexican restaurants, but first a little history.
Contrary to popular belief, Cinco de Mayo is not a celebration of Mexico's Independence Day but is actually a celebration of the initial victory of General Ignacio Zaragoza Seguin over French forces in the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. Hence the name, which means 5th of May in English.
In Mexico, Cinco de Mayo is primarily a regional holiday. However, in the United States it is a date to celebrate the culture and experiences of Americans of Mexican ancestry and is observed by many Americans regardless of ethnicity.
- El Charro (15422 Main Street E)
- Los Panchos (16202 64th Street E)
