    5 de Mayo is more popular because it’s generally a better day for a party, at least in El Norte, than 16 de Septiembre.

    And it’s at the beginning of the summer season, not the end, which makes it a better marketing opportunity for the people selling beer and tequila to Gringos that no self-respecting Mexicano would be caught dead drinking.

    (read: Corona and Patron)

    Still, I’m never averse to a party.

    If you’re lucky enough to live in a city with a real Mexican grocery store — one that caters to people in the neighborhood, not churro-hunters from the ‘burbs — go see what’s stacked up in their coolers this weekend, and on their shelves. Bring yourself home a little Tecate or Bohemia, or perhaps a nice bottle of Hornitos, and reflect for a bit on the fact that freedom also means the freedom to shuck off marketing hype.

    Thank you very much. I am frankly stupified that at 56 I am just now and so eloquantly being informed as to the accurate historical reason for this day and all the hoopla. Frankly I’d prefer making the next Disneyland ’south of the boarder’ so they would stop polluting our gene pool and draining out economy but other than that I like tacos.

    Thank you. An excellent history lesson. I thought there was a better reason to toss down slammers at the
    Cadillac Bar!! Now I know.
