You probably already know today is Cinco de Mayo, which celebrates the Mexican army's victory against superior French forces at the Battle of Puebla in 1862.

Today is also Taco Tuesday, a non - historical but no less fun celebration that seems to have started at restaurants and bars in the United States a few decades ago. Many establishments will offer tacos and drink specials today that, when added to Cinco de Mayo deals, combine to make for one of the best Tuesday nights you'll ever have.

Lafayette has a wide variety of wonderful Mexican restaurants to choose from. Enjoy Cinco de Mayo and Taco Tuesday responsibly and support our local businesses!
