Cinco de Mayo: More Than Tacos & Tequila

Did you know Cinco de Mayo isn’t Mexico’s Independence Day? It actually marks a wild underdog win against the French in 1862! While the U.S. loves to party with tacos and tequila, the real roots are about resilience and Mexican pride. Some folks are calling out how the holiday’s been commercialized (giant sombreros, anyone?) and want us to remember the real history. Next time you celebrate, maybe skip the fake mustache and learn a little about Puebla! #CincoDeMayo #MexicanCulture #HistoryMatters #NotIndependenceDay #Culture
