I've never needed much of an excuse to enjoy Mexican food and margaritas. Nonetheless, Cinco de Mayo will provide a pretty good one in just seven days. Not to be confused with Mexican Independence Day on September 16th, Cinco de Mayo (the 5th of May) honors the victory of the Mexican army in the Battle of Puebla in 1862.
