Cinco de Mayo (5th of May) is just around the corner and for restaurants, cafés, and bars, this is a fantastic opportunity to create a buzz, attract customers and tap into the market for one of the nation’s favourite cuisines!
While many mistakenly associate Cinco de Mayo with Mexico’s Independence Day, the event actually commemorates a remarkable and historic victory in 1862, when Mexican forces triumphed over the invading French army of Napoleon III at the Battle of Puebla. This unexpected victory, against all odds, became a symbol of Mexican pride, resilience, and heritage.
Today, Cinco de Mayo is celebrated across the globe, serving as a perfect excuse to enjoy delicious food, drinks, and good company - all while honouring Mexican culture and tradition.
This lively celebration is a great chance for your customers to indulge in bold, vibrant flavours, festive cocktails, and delicious street-food-inspired dishes, all while experiencing the energy and warmth of Mexican culture. Whether you’re offering a special Cinco de Mayo menu, hosting a themed event, or introducing limited-time promotions, you can easily transform a regular weekend into phenominal fiesta!
