There are a few ways to celebrate the often-misunderstood Mexican celebration of Cinco de Mayo Thursday.
Load up your plate with free tacos, burrito deals, margarita specials, free delivery and even a few pizza discounts.
Cinco de Mayo recognizes the Mexican army’s 1862 victory over France, but it’s not considered a Mexican federal holiday. It’s also not Mexico’s Independence Day, which is celebrated Sept.16.
According to a consumer survey by Numerator, 44% of U.S. consumers plan to celebrate Cinco de Mayo and 67% expect inflation and product shortages to affect their plans. The survey also found 42% of consumers expect the pandemic to impact plans down from 78% in 2021.
