To be fair, the 5th of May holiday is truly a Mexican Holiday, that somehow trickled its way into American culture as a day to party. The day celebrates the Mexican Army’s victory at the Battle of Puebla, even though they were well outnumbered and less equipped with arms than their French army opposition. Way to go Mexico!
And to note, this is NOT the Mexican Independence Day, as many Americans believe. But that is not much of a concern to most, as Cino de Mayo in the U.S. is used by many Americans as an excuse to drink tequila and wear a sombrero!
Need places to go? No problem! Cinco de Mayo in Miami leaves you with plenty of options. Check out Senor Frogs in Coconut Grove or in South Beach, or just head down to Ocean Drive in Miami. You will not find a venue or restaurant along this strip today that is not serving up a Mexican treat!
