Buenos dias amigos and happy Cinco de Mayo. Although it may have originated as a celebration of a Mexican military victory in the fight for freedom and democracy, today is about celebrating our right to party. A specific variant of partying that involves sombreros, eating tacos, fake mustaches and consuming way, wayyy too many Patron shots. Cinco de Mayo is particularly special here in Los Angeles and there are plenty of places to observe the high holiday all over town. And because we're really awesome, we've made the process of figuring out how to celebrate the day with our Cinco De Mayo 2011 L.A. Party Guide with all the fiestas in town! ¡Ole!
