Celebrating Cinco de Mayo | San Diego Living

Sponsored by: Modelo
Cinco de Mayo falls on a Sunday this year. And that means Americans are gearing up for a full weekend of fiestas with friends and family. The holiday is designed to celebrate Latino communities in the United States. It also marks the victory in the Battle of Puebla, where outnumbered Mexican troops defeated French forces in 1862. Cinco de Mayo is actually a bigger deal in the states than it is in Mexico, with Americans spending billions of dollars on avocados, limes and alcohol. You can’t have a fiesta without Mexican flavors. Treat yourself with the authentic flavors of Mexico, including Modelo, which is a beer born in Mexico nearly 100 years ago.
Check out these tips to enjoy this celebration of Mexican culture authentically.
