DTF = Down To Fiesta
If you’re not familiar with it, Cinco de Mayo is a holiday that celebrates the date of the Mexican army’s 1862 victory over France at the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War. In the U.S., it’s a time to celebrate Mexican culture and an opportunity to eat lots of tacos and drink margaritas!
