These are good ideas, though regarding the music, salsa isn't Mexican music (i.e. Buena Vista Social Club is from Cuba, not Mexico). Stick to Mexican music like mariachi =)

Something tells me that you are all not mexican. I for one dont think i have ever celebrated Cinco de Mayo. Do you even know what it is? Probably not. No its not our Independence day either. Lame!

I had a Mexican Fiesta party and we had a make your own taco station. We offered hard & soft shells, chicken & beef and all the toppings. We also made some quesadillas and of course chips with several types of salsa and this party was a hit. We did the pinata thing and had 1 with mini liquor bottles for the adults and one with candy for the kids. Just some more suggestions for everyone.

I don't think people should b4stardize holiday celebrations unless they share that ethnicity. I can tell just by reading this article that the authors aren't Mexican (without even seeing the photos). Why do people even celebrate this holiday anyway unless they're Mexican? It's not an American holiday.

Cinco de Mayo its not Mexico's independence day but september 15. I think people just celebrate it because it is in the spring and just another reason to party.

Here are tips to my successful run of 15 straight years of Cinco de Mayo parties: Keg of Coors Beer, loud rock music, nachos and salsa, freshly made hamburgers and hot dogs and have the party on May 5th - whether that is a Monday or Saturday. Tell your guests to bring nothing. Decorate with one sombrero. Simple.

FYI, Cinco De Mayo is not Mexico's Independence day. Cinco de Mayo commemorates the battle of Puebla. Also who cares wether its a Mexican celebration, your welcome to join GRINGO. O and last but not least this article is alright, I'll stick to more traditional food and decor.
