Cinco de Mayo marks the victory of the Mexican Army over the French at the Battle of Puebla.
With this victory, Mexico demonstrated to the world that they were willing to defend themselves from
any foreign intervention. Join MindSpring as we celebrate this date of great importance in Mexican
culture and history.
If you visit the Official Cinco de Mayo Page, you'll find that good food and drinks are essential to the celebration of this holiday. 
With that in mind, strap on an apron, head to the kitchen and see if you can compete with the worlds largest burrito. From burritos with chips & salsa to steaming chili, there is never a lack of hot food around this holiday. Don't forget the mole. Pronounced "mo-lay," it is a Mexican chocolate sauce that is mixed with a variety of foods to make interesting and delicious dishes. How do you plan on extinguishing that fire in your stomach? With the traditional margarita, of course. Stop by Spikes margaritas or the galaxy's best for margarita recipes that are out of this world (but keep this hangover helper recipe close by). 
If cooking isn't your strong point then hop in your car, drive to the drive-thru and
say those 4 little words - "Yo quiero Taco Bell."
You can check on Taco Bell locations near you and even send a CyberMeal Postcard to your friends. A party wouldn't be a party without music. Visit these sites to learn more about Tejano and Mariachi music. While you're at it, you can brush up on some Mexican Art and History in either English or Spanish. If Cinco de Mayo means a trip to Mexico for you, check out some Mexico maps and tourism tips as well as the Mexico Web Guide.
