Cinco de Mayo, or the fifth of May, is not Mexican Independence Day, a popular misconception.
Cinco de Mayo is a holiday that celebrates the date of the Mexican Army’s May 5, 1862 victory over France at the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War, as we have been advised by Javier’s Mexican Grill in Chipley, Florida.
This year, Cinco de Mayo falls on Tuesday, May 5 in 2026, is also known as Battle of Puebla Day, which is, coincidentally, also ‘Taco Tuesday’ at Javier’s Mexican Grill in Chipley, Florida, providing a double reason for celebration, eating great food and enjoying camaraderie in our communities.
Javier’s Mexican Grill in Chipley, Florida says that as far as they are concerned, it is a great day to celebrate.
To that end, Javier’s is offering, for those dining-in only, $2 Street Tacos, $1.25 Regular Tacos, $4 Margaritas, $2 Bottle Beer and $3 Draft Beer, plus free shots- all dine-in only, please.
