Cinco de Mayo is around the corner and we are ready to party. What better way to celebrate Cinco de Mayo than with a margarita in hand and some delicious Toronto food?
In case you didn’t know, Cinco de Mayo is not Mexican Independence Day (that’s in September). This holiday celebrates the Mexican defeat of the French army in 1862.
Now that we’ve got that cleared up, let’s dive into our roundup of Cinco de Mayo festivities going on in Toronto this year.
