Carlsbad Cinco De Mayo Happy Hour Guide

Cinco de Mayo may be a patriotic day in Mexico, but in America it's also considered "Cinco de Drink-o."

Not to be confused with Mexico's Independence Day, Cinco de Mayo is actually a holiday that commemorates the Mexican army's unlikely victory over the French at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, explain Wikipedia.

In Carlsbad and cities across American the day is  often seen as a good reason to have a margarita, or make that a pitcher.
