However, there is a huge misconception in America about el Cinco de Mayo. People believe it is like Mexico's Independence Day. But it is really only a small celebration in rememberance of a victorious battle in a small town in Mexico, during their fight for independence from Spain.
Other truths about Mexico:
- there is no such thing as a burrito there
- tortillas are made with corn (not wheat), and are never 'hard-shell'
- only a small percentage of hispanic immigrants (and illegal immigrants) in America are Mexican
