In Mexico, Cinco de Mayo is mainly celebrated in the state of Puebla, where the Battle of Puebla took place in 1862. No special food is associated with the celebration, but Chiles en Nogada are likely to be served. Chiles en Nogada are poblano chiles filled with "picadillo," (a mixture usually containing chopped or ground meat, aromatics, fruits, and spices) topped with a walnut-based cream sauce and pomegranate seeds, giving it the three colors of the Mexican flag: chili for green, nut sauce for white , and pomegranate for red.

Cinco de Mayo is not widely observed in other parts of Mexico, but if there is a Cinco de Mayo celebration, the foods of that region would be served. For instance, if you are eating in Mexico City, tortas, pambazos or pozole would be in order. In the city of Guadalajara, birria would be the choice. Caldo loco is pretty common throughout the state of Hidalgo.

At widespread Cinco de Mayo celebrations in the United States, it is likely that "traditional Mexican Food" consisting of tacos, enchiladas, burritos, fajitas or any other Tex-Mex cuisine dish would be on the menu.

Mexicans like to eat flour based foods that they may prepare as tortillas, for example. They like to have fresh or prepared fruits and vegetables along with their bread and other pastry items. Particular favorites from the fruit and vegetable food groups are avocado, corn, and tomatoes. They like to include meat and seafood in their meals. Such main items may be served baked, boiled, broiled, cooked, fried, or grilled. They like to include herbs and seasonings in all of their dishes too.
