Despite the situation at hand, we won’t let anything stop us from enjoying great Mexican cuisine while supporting our local business owners. Below is a list of local Mexican restaurants with Cinco de Mayo “To-Go” options we’re craving!

History of Cinco de Mayo
Contrary to popular belief, Cinco de Mayo is not Mexico’s independence day. Mexico celebrates their Independence Day on September sixteenth. Cinco de Mayo commemorates the Mexican army’s unlikely victory over the French forces of Napoleon III on May 5, 1862, at the Battle of Puebla. Mexico had trouble paying back war debts to European countries, and France had come to Mexico to collect that debt.
