Celebrate Cinco de Mayo in Columbus with food and drink specials

Cinco de Mayo celebrates the victory over France in the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862 – not Mexico’s Independence Day (Sept 16), as many think. The holiday isn’t widely celebrated in Mexico, but has become quite the Americanized holiday.

This year, Cinco de Mayo falls on Sunday, May 5, so it’s a good way to celebrate the end of the weekend!

Whether you want to celebrate Cinco de Mayo in Columbus out, or at home, we’ve got a list of places where you can get tacos, tequila, tostados, Tecate, and more.
