There is historical significance to Cinco de Mayo, it's not merely an excuse to get drunk and eat burritos.

Take a look at my post.  It is a significant day, but most of you think of it as the day to get half price beer and shots at Mexican restaurants.

I think Cinco de Mayo is Mexican Independence Day como Quatro de Julio en Estados Unidos.

You're right. I found this info:

The 5th of May is not Mexican Independence Day, but it should be! And Cinco de Mayo is not an American holiday, but it should be. Mexico declared its independence from mother Spain on midnight, the 15th of September, 1810. And it took 11 years before the first Spanish soldiers were told and forced to leave Mexico.

So, why Cinco de Mayo? And why should Americans savor this day as well? Because 4,000 Mexican soldiers smashed the French and traitor Mexican army of 8,000 at Puebla, Mexico, 100 miles east of Mexico City on the morning of May 5, 1862.

Actually midnight on Sept.15 is Sept. 16, which is Mexican Ind. day.


Cinco de Mayo is only celebrated over here as a reason to party...nothing more. I drink green beer on St. Patricks Day and I am not Irish. All  the Mexicans I know in Mexico dont celebrate Cinco de Mayo half as much as we do...Sept 16 is more of a big deal!


I am eating Taco Bell to celebrate......Arriba..and I am completely Mexican as far as heritage goes.
