CaraCara celebrates Mexican Independence Day all weekend and Monday, September 16

¡Viva Mexico! 
CaraCara Mexican Grill is featuring specials all weekend and on Monday, in honor of Mexican Independence Day, which is officially Monday, September 16th.

Mexican Independence Day History: In the year 1500, Spain conquered Mexico and named it New Spain. Life was hard under Spanish rule and many of the native Mexicans (Mayas and Aztecs) were forced into slavery. More than 300 years later, on September 16, 1810, a priest named Father Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla started a revolt against the Spanish. The Spanish were finally defeated in 1821 and now Mexican Independence is celebrated every year to remember the beginning of the struggle for freedom.
