Cinco de Mayo: More Than Tacos & Tequila

Did you know Cinco de Mayo isn’t just about margaritas and tacos? It actually marks a wild underdog victory by Mexican troops over the French in 1862! While the U.S. loves a good fiesta, the day’s roots are all about resilience and pride. Some folks are pushing back on the stereotypes and commercialization, reminding us it’s a celebration of Mexican American culture and history—not just an excuse for tequila shots. Next time you celebrate, maybe skip the fake mustache and learn a little about Puebla! #CincoDeMayo #MexicanCulture #HistoryMatters #BeyondTheFiesta #Culture
