Where to celebrate Cinco de Mayo in Toronto 2018
Cinco de Mayo! It’s kind of like the Mexican equivalent to St. Patrick’s Day.
While the celebration commemorating Mexico’s victory at the Battle of Puebla is mostly ceremonial south of the border, here in Toronto the holiday has been co-opted as a mex-cellent excuse to throw a tequila and taco-fueled fiesta.
Here’s where to celebrate Cinco de Mayo in Toronto this year.
