Cinco de Mayo:
1862, Mexico's Army defeated the French at the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War, (1861-1867).
It's considered a Minor Holiday in Mexico. In the United States, it's become a Celebration of Mexican Culture and Heritage.
We celebrate in a grand style in Texas.... Parades, Music , Street Festivals and....... FOOD!
