Celebrate Cinco De Mayo At Baltimore's Best Mexican Restaurants

BALTIMORE (Hoodline) -- It's the United States' favorite day to celebrate Mexican culture, but it's not, as many believe, Mexico's Independence Day — that comes Sept. 16.

Cinco de Mayo instead commemorates a significant military victory, in which the Mexican army defeated French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862.

Want to celebrate the occasion and show off your newfound knowledge of Mexican history? Hoodline crunched the numbers to find the best Mexican restaurants in Baltimore, using both Yelp data and our own methodology. Use our list to score a delicious Cinco de Mayo meal.
