It's probably safe to say that Cinco de Mayo is my favorite of the holidays closely associated to food or dining. Thanksgiving food is a little limiting; I like Saint Patrick's Day dinners but Irish food isn't often my first choice when I go out to eat.

But Mexican food is so great. Guacamole makes such a great addition to any meal or snack. Fish tacos, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and enchiladas are among my favorites.

So to get us all pumped for Cinco de Mayo, I've prepared the photo gallery to the top right of this story. Enjoy this selection of Mexican favorites and your Cinco de Mayo experience!
