The Battle of Puebla marked a win for Mexico on May 5, 1862, which then transformed into a universally celebrated holiday known as Cinco De Mayo. Seeking to improve relations with Latin American countries and communities, President Franklin D. Roosevelt started the Good Neighbor Policy, which then gained traction over the years, as a way to celebrate Mexican-American Pride.

In honor and celebration of one of our favorite holidays, here are some delicious Mexican restaurants to enjoy this Cinco De Mayo.
