BBQ and Grilling Cinco de Mayo Recipes

Last Updated On: October 3, 2026

Mix up some grilled lime margaritas and grilled guacamole, because Cinco de Mayo recipes are on the menu! Cinco de Mayo has become a big holiday in North America, and May 5th is even more popular in America than it is in Mexico. Not to be confused with Mexican Independence Day (September 16), the 5th of May officially commemorates the Mexican Army’s historic defeat of the French army at the Battle of Puebla.

In America, Cinco de Mayo has evolved into a celebration of all things Mexican-American, from the food and drinks to the music and culture. To help you celebrate in style, here are our best Mexican-American recipes, from smoked jalapeño poppers to tacos, salsas, and more.
