Cinco de Mayo is almost upon us and anyone who works in a Mexican restaurant is preparing themselves for one of the biggest shit shows of the year. May 5th is a commemoration of the victory of Mexico’s army over the French Empire at the Battle of Puebla, but most Americans think of it as Mexican Independence Day and a reason to get trashed on margaritas.
I asked Twitter to tell me a few things that would definitely, 100%, for sure happen in every Mexican restaurant on that day and the people had answers:
Some Gringo will salute Mexican Independence Day. Which is in September.

Basic Becky will want to know why there isn’t complimentary chips and salsa, why the salsa is too hot, why the tacos cost so much compared to Taco Bell and why the song “Macarena” isn’t on the jukebox.

someone will drop a full margarita out of pure clumsiness onto the floor and the stickiness will be too much to bear. Did you really get it off the floor? Check your shoes, I’m sure they’re clomp-clomping with the residue!

People who walk into a clearly identified Cuban restaurant and get pissy because there are no tacos, burritos, fajitas and guac………. yeah, you just keep on asking for Mexican dishes that are not going to happen.
