Cinco de Mayo is more of a Mexican-American holiday. My family from Mexico never celebrated it. They were surprised to see that it's a big deal in the states when they came to visit. Cinco de Mayo is just a day when a bunch of Mexican farmers beat the French army at the Battle of Puebla. It's no Mexican Independence Day (that Sept. 16)
