Dish-feature-article-4_30 Admit it, hombre. You’ve got no idea what Cinco de Mayo is all about.

I mean actually all about, not just that Cinco de Mayo is that super fun day in May when you drink so much Mexican beer that your mouth goes numb, that day when you once took your top off at a Taco Del Mar, that day when you drink margaritas the size of your head. Of course you know all of that â€" look at your track record. I’m digging deeper.

I mean to say you’ve got no idea what the history of Cinco de Mayo is, why it’s a holiday in the first place, what foods Mexicans actually eat â€" for real â€" on the day, and why the powers that be have been able to convince you into buying ungodly amounts of Corona in its name.
