COLUMBUS (WCMH) — Cinco de Mayo celebrates victory that no one saw coming, when the Mexican army defeated the French at the Battle of Puebla in 1862. Now, you can do your part to celebrate with classic Mexican fare, tradition, and, of course, drinks at a major discount in the Columbus area. We scoured the Internet for deals that will help you honor the holiday from sunrise to sunset.
