May Fun Days (Highlighted on Menu)

May 5: Cinco De Mayo!
Cinco de Mayo, or the fifth of May, commemorates the Mexican armys 1862 victory over France at the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War. It is a relatively minor holiday in Mexico but in the United States it has evolved into a celebration of Mexican culture and heritage which include parades, mariachi music and street festivals. Mexican style entrees such as quesadillas, nachos and taco twins continue to be popular choices with our customers! Lunch on Cinco De Mayo will feature taco twins served with corn, refried beans and a churro!
May 28: National Hamburger Day!

The concept of todays hamburger originated during the 12th century by the Mongols of China led by Genghis Kahn. The Mongols would place beef under their saddles where trotting of the horse would mince the meat as the heat of the horse cooked it. Beef provided the warriors with protein and eliminated the need to stop on long journeys. In 1921, White Castle began the mass distribution of the fast food hamburger with a tiny hamburger sold for 5 cents! Holes were later added to the patty to speed up cooking times and eliminate the need for flipping.
