Next Tuesday is Cinco de Mayo! Cinco de Mayo is a holiday celebrated in both Mexico and the United States commemorating The Day of the Battle of Puebla. Cinco de Mayo is not Mexico’s Independence Day like many believe and/or assume, that day falls on September 16th. The Day of the Battle of Puebla and Cinco de Mayo have to do with when the Mexican army defeated French forces in an unlikely conflict more than a century ago on May 5th, 1862.
Now that your mind is filled up with knowledge of Cinco de Mayo, it’s time to fill up your stomach with delicious Mexican or Mexican-American cuisine! Check out these restaurants on Long Island serving up mouthwatering Mexican food to the masses.
