Why would you need to know how to say "Cinco de Mayo" en Nahuatl? Cinco de Mayo is a "celebration" (if you can even call it a celebration) of a battle in the second french intervention in Mexico in 1868. The battle is also known as "La Batalla de Puebla" which obviously tells us happened in Puebla, a state next to the capital.

This was obviously after the Spanish conquest and set in a time when the original Mesoamerican languages where prohibited to be spoken. Obviously now in Mexico only in very remote places in Oaxaca, Chiapas and surrounding areas of the city will you find people who speak Nahuatl, and they usually aren't very nice to intruding people.

If you really need the answer to this question it's going to be rather hard finding someone who knows the indigenous language.
