The annual holiday celebrates the Mexican army's victory over France in 1862's Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War. Americans have interpreted the holiday differently over the years — sometimes confusing it with Mexican Independence Day — and often celebrate it with margaritas and parties each year. Still, restaurants across the U.S. enjoy getting in on the celebration with special deals on drinks and food. Here are some of the best deals you can get on Cinco de Mayo: **[Bahama Breeze](http://www.bahamabreeze.com/home):** The Caribbean restaurant is offering $5 margaritas for the holiday.
