Cinco de Mayo celebrations were held across the Bronx Saturday.
The 12th annual Cinco de Mayo celebration was held on Crescent Avenue and East 187th Street in Belmont.
The event was put on by Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church and C-town, who sponsored all the food.
People say it's a great way to bring the community together and commemorate the Mexican Army's unlikely victory against the French back in 1862 at the Battle of Puebla.
