For those wondering, Cinco de Mayo marks the Mexican army’s victory over the French at the Battle of Puebla in 1862 . While it’s a relatively minor holiday in Mexico, it has become a major celebration of Mexican-American culture in the United States — and in Jupiter, that means good food, cold drinks, and great company.
