Metairie’s El Paso To Host 2-Day Cinco De Mayo Festival

METAIRIE, LA – El Paso, an hub for authentic Mexican food and culture located at 601 Veterans Blvd., is about to throw down for its second annual Cinco de Mayo celebration, expanding this year to a two-day festival.

         El Paso’s owners said they are excited to host their grandest Cinco de Mayo celebration to date.

         They said the holiday is often credited as a Mexican Independence Day, but it really celebrates the country’s unlikely victory over the French forces at The Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862.
