Cinco De Mayo: Concord Area's Best Margaritas

CONCORD, MA—Cinco de Mayo is Thursday, and while the holiday is minor in Mexico, American's have made it one of their own.

Cinco de Mayo commemorates the Mexican Army's 1862 victory over France at the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War. However, it wasn't until June 2005 that the U.S. Congress called on President George W. Bush to recognize the historical significance of Cinco de Mayo.

While the holiday does not have a direct significant effect on American History, it also recognizes the effect of the American Civil War on Latinos living in what is now the Southwest, according to Time.com.

However, Cinco de Mayo to many means the pursuit of a nice margarita. Here are the best places to grab the icy adult beverage around Concord, according to Yelp.

1. El Huipil, Maynard

2. Not Your Average Joe’s, Acton

3. Ixtapa Mexican Grill & Cantina, Acton

4. Sunset Tiki Bar, Westford
