The former Spanish teacher/current ESL teacher in me feels obliged to add a disclaimer to this Cinco de Mayo quotes post. For all who are still not in the know…Cinco de Mayo is a highly Americanized day, created for people like me who look for any excuse to celebrate and have a party. And since I do meet that criteria…lookie…I’ve created a whole post of Cinco de Mayo quotes, quotes about fiesta, tacos quotes, nachos quotes, quotes about tequila, and quotes about margaritas!
The date of Cinco de Mayo ties to a historic battle in 1862 in the town of Puebla, Mexico in which the Mexican forces defeated the French with little supplies and a small, untrained and rather young group of soldiers.
However, the full-on fiestas with margaritas and never-ending chips and salsa is more of an American ideal. Some areas of Mexico do celebrate with parades in a more authentic way. But you will find many people hailing from Mexico that do not know much about Cinco de Mayo and do not understand what all the American fuss is about. Luckily, our American-based Mexican restaurant establishments benefit from this “holiday.”
That all being said…Cinco de Mayo is my kind of “holiday!” Cheese dip, margaritas, tacos, colorful decor…need I say more?
