How do they celebrate cinco de mayo?

There is nothing special. the Cinco de Mayo celebration commemorates a military victory over invading, foreign forces; therefore it is not a religious celebration:

The City of Puebla (some 60 miles SE of Mexico City) is the background of one of the most important battles of all time. On the 5th of May, 1862 the French Army (the world's best at the time, armed with cavalry and high-precision rifles) lost to Mexican militias composed mostly of huarache-wearing, machete-bearing indians. That is why many Mexicans celebrate the all-too-famous "Cinco de Mayo" (May the Fifth): because it is comparable to a bunch of militiamen defeating the US army on an open field battle.

However, having some beers and drinking with friends is customary among many people celebrating the date. You may have seen it among Mexicans living in the United States.
