Feliz Cinco de Mayo!
I have no idea why really, but Cinco de Mayo (the fifth of May) is a big deal in Phoenix. (And as Ed keeps pointing out, it's 05-05-05 as well!). I have no idea why it's such a big thing - it's the anniversary of some relatively obscure, but victorious battle by the Mexican army against the French back in 1862 - but I think I can guess.
Phoenix has a lot of Mexican restaurants. People like to have an excuse for drinking and partying, and the restaurants are only more than happy to give the people what they want.
The only problem is, everyone in town tends to go out to their favorite Mexican place for lunch or dinner on this day every year, so unless you enjoy crowds and long waits for dinner, it can be more of a hassle than it's worth.
As much as I really would love to celebrate the Mexican victory in an 1862 battle, I'll probably skip the festivities tonight. Instead, a Chalupa Supreme and Diet Pepsi from Taco Bell will probably have to suffice.
Whether you celebrate the day or not, have a muy bueno cinco de Mayo!
