It’s time for our annual luchador-themed take on Cinco de Mayo and what better way to celebrate than with an El Santo margarita? Granted, I’m not entirely sure if it has anything to do with the famous luchador, but you know what? IT DOES NOW!

Even if you don’t watch professional wrestling, you have to admit that’s awesome. Sadly, later El Santo films would opt to save money by filming the wrestling scenes on an empty sound stage rather than in front of a crowd.
Feliz Cinco de Mayo!
Happy Cinco de Mayo!
