Cinco de Mayo

Cinco de Mayo commemorates the victory of Mexican forces over those of an invading French army in the City of Puebla, 1862. This particular event is celebrated in Puebla, and in the United States as a day of heritage and pride. It is that latter sentiment, one of heritage and pride, which inspires many area restaurants to offer special menus and festivities. If you prefer to prepare a meal yourself, though, consider picking up a title or two from our collection. Among that collection are the following:
