…Try a fiesta with Fish Tacos! Question of the day – What is Cinco de Mayo? Cinco de Mayo (Spanish for “fifth of May”) is NOT Mexico’s Independence Day as so many of us non-Hispanics think. That day is Fiestas Patrias, celebrated on September 16 each year, and is by far their most important national public holiday. Cinco de Mayo IS a day of celebration of Mexican heritage and pride, and is surprisingly…a much bigger holiday in the U.S. than in Mexico. It...
