Cinco de Mayo is around the corner. Contrary to popular belief, it is not Mexican Independence Day (that’s September 16), but a holiday commemorating [Mexico’s victory over France](/cinco-de-mayo-spectacle-coming-9th-street/) at the Battle of Puebla in 1862 during the Franco-Mexican War (1861-1867).

Below is a list of five restaurants in the Sunset Park/Bay Ridge area where you can celebrate Cinco de Mayo with some great Mexican cuisine and margaritas. Salud!
