Celebrate Corona’s Cinco de Mayo in Style with NJOY Tacos!
The warm California sun bathes Corona, California, as the town prepares for its annual Cinco de Mayo fiesta. This vibrant celebration commemorates the unlikely victory of the Mexican army over the French forces at the Battle of Puebla in 1862. While not Mexican Independence Day (September 16th), Cinco de Mayo has become a day to revel in Mexican heritage, culture, and most importantly, delicious food.
The Significance of Cinco de Mayo
For those unfamiliar with the story, the Battle of Puebla was a pivotal moment in Mexican history. The French forces, considered a global military powerhouse, invaded Mexico in 1862. Against all odds, the vastly outnumbered Mexican army, led by General Ignacio Zaragoza, emerged victorious. This unexpected triumph became a symbol of Mexican resilience and national pride. While the holiday itself is not widely celebrated in Mexico, Cinco de Mayo has become a significant cultural touchstone for Mexican communities and their descendants in the United States, particularly in California with its rich Hispanic heritage.
