Food From Hilary Pollack, your About Food Editor ♫ Cinco de Mayo is holiday time, holiday time in Mexico. ♫ A celebration of Mexico's victory in its historic 1862 Battle of Puebla, this festive holiday is often celebrated with an abundance of party-friendly food and drink, from margaritas to tamales. Salt your rims and warm your tortillas; the menu is going to be muy caliente, whether you're preparing a massive family feast or just a themed dinner for two. Want more from About.com Food?
