Contrary to popular belief, Cinco de Mayo is not Mexico’s Independence Day, but it is historically significant. The day commemorates the Mexican army’s surprising victory over French forces on May 5, 1862, at the Battle of Puebla. Every year, Cinco de Mayo celebrations take place, and many restaurants offer customer deals and discounts. We’ve rounded up some of the best Cinco de Mayo deals that are worth checking out. And you might be surprised, but you don’t have to dine at Mexican restaurants to save.
