In the spirit of all things Mexican, [Mucho Burrito](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mucho-burrito-launches) released a graphic comparing the [Cinco de Mayo holiday](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pizza-de-mayo-menu) to [St. Patrick's Day](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/st-patricks-daythemed-event). The infographic looks at the origins of both holidays, as well as the traditional foods and drinks that are served, dance styles and how people tend to celebrate. Mucho Burrito's graphic humorously points out that 142 million Mexicans identify with their heritage all over the world, but during both holidays, everybody is invited to be Mexican or Irish for a day.

With the infographic, Mucho Burrito provides a good dose of history on both celebrations and helped to direct people to dine at one of its locations on May 5th for Cinco de Mayo celebrations and the chance to win trips and prizes.
