Cinco de Mayo

Time to come unhinged for tacos and margaritas. I'm still bitter about COVID robbing us of this last year when it fell on taco Tuesday so going to have to double down this year

Any day we can celebrate the defeat of the French is OK in my books, anyone else going to partake?

Make sure you fly the Mexican flag on the hood of your truck.

Let the Festivities begin

Is it too early for a michelada?

Never too early for one

yea the 5th of May

Exactly the time for one

We had tacos last night. Im not big on Mexican celebrations, nor do I like the beer.

We will be selling Rita's early and often today.

We will be partaking in Tacos and Margaritas tonight at a friends party. YES!!!!!!

We are having enchiladas tonite, but it is truly coincidental

Can't drink all day if you don't start now.

Try a Pacifico. It's mighty fine about 3:00 pm on Lake Picachos after you've put 150 bass in the boat.

Real history of it. In the 1800's Mexicans developed an overpowering taste for mayonnaise. It was only available from Hellman's in England, and they could not ship it fast enough so devoted an entire cargo ship for the purpose. All of Mexico was ecstatic upon hearing of this good fortune. Enroute the ship struck a reef off the coast and sunk on May 5th. All Mexicans were devastated upon learning of the tragedy and from that day forward remembered May 5th as the date of Sinka de Mayo. Yeah, I know - C+ at the best.

Mexican equivalent of St. Patrice's day.

Im strictly a Busch Light drinker.

You are the life of the party I bet......

Heading to Pappasito's for lunch

My son made this last night, he is one hell of a cook. He cooked it all, and all from scratch.

He made enchiladas for just me and him, wife and daughter had tacos...


My dish...


Chuck roast he cooked all day in crock pot, BBQ Mexican spice/sauce...shredded...


Mexican rice, delish...



Mexican beans, delish...

Actually, Im a ton of fun. Im just not Spanish, nor am I big on their celebrations.

I don't see too many mexicans celebrate down here. It's usually just white people who need an excuse to get hammered. Just a normal day of getting hammered for most other San Antonians.

May the fifth be with you .

celebrating defeating the french,, A little over kill in my book.. Who has NOT defeated the French ? Kinda like clubbing baby seals at this point

Just like St Pattys day. Not a real holiday in Ireland.

I got a wrong number call from someone in Coahuila a couple of hours ago and wished them a happy Cinco de Mayo. I never could understand their reply but they seemed pretty happy (truth is they could have been telling me that my auto warranty expired but my spanish is very limited).

Give them a call, 52 871-269-4152

I’m 100% white. I’m not Spanish. I’m not Mexican. I’m just a plain American white guy that loves the hell out of Mexican food, tequila, jalapeños, and all that stuff. You’re missing out. I don’t like the boots some of those fellas wear. But, they knocked it out of the park on some of this stuff.

I agree with this

Just cracked the first cold one. Getting ready for a zoom meeting

You choose to drink that swill?

I will be drinking Margs later this evening. Had tacos al cabon for lunch, but had to walk a jobsite this afternoon so no drinks at lunch.

Yep. Im not a fan of strong tasting beers. Its like a Coors light, refreshing to drink. To me anyways. We always called them "bluegills" back home. Its either that, or some Jim Beam Devils Cut over ice.

Hard pass

Rookie.

Why do we celebrate May 5 here? It's not even a national holiday in Mexico.

Why not ? Good excuse to get outside .

And drink. Heavily.

You guys can do that every day.

True enough but Americans do like a party . 5/5 is a nice intermission between St. Patrick's and Memorial day .

Let them invade France now,

Not sure why the pass.......I WOOD most definitely hit that!

Because he is trolling...Obviously clueless to my post. which is my son cooking an incredible dish, but jun is rick.

Those all look fantastic!!! Please cut junbengreat a little slack, he’s frustrated...can’t get the M&A plan with the side piece approved by the home office.

Jun likes jelly, Jun likes jelly....

People were our in full force at the Mexican resturants in Pearland and Friendswood yesterday. Cops even had a few that started early on the ground. Traffic was really bad people trying to get off work so they could get hammered.

I'm sure someone stabbed their borther in law before the night was over.

I lived in South Texas for many years before I moved to Houston area. Corpus Christi tried to hide Cinco de drinko day with something called Bay Fest which ran the first week in May as I recall. This week pretty much turned out to be a good excuse for some of the local population to get hammered, pull out their knives and stab others hangin out on the Bay Front to party in the back and run off. Lots of poeple got stabbed over the years. Watching the news that week was quite interesting.

Listening to two guys talk last week about a latino woman that was severely PO'd at one of the guys she had a thing with, "she may not kill you in your sleep but she'll stab you until you wake up".
