Happy Cinco de Mayo!
If you’re interested in celebrating the day that the Mexican army triumphed at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, we've got some options.
First, let's have a quick historical recap of the holiday. Some believe the day is the Fourth of July equivalent for Mexico but NBC News reports that this victory over France occurred over 50 years after Mexico's Independence Day, which is celebrated on September 16.
