Cinco de Mayo isnât much of a holiday in Mexico, yet each year the United States is all in, as mariachi bands perform across the land, tequila-inspired diners take swings at piñatas, and everywhere tacos are the special of the day. Meanwhile, Mexican Independence Day on Sept. 16 goes practically unremarked. Imagine if, say, Italy went wild for America with cookouts, country music, and cold Budweiser each Patriots Day but didnât really seem to know the Fourth of July was a thing.
