Some traditional food items eaten on Cinco de Mayo include guacamole, tacos, churros, and mole poblano, a Puebla specialty made with mole sauce, bitter chocolate, and pepitas (pumpkin seeds). In the United States and Puebla (Mexico), many people enjoy the holiday by attending parades that feature mariachi bands, dancers in traditional Mexican clothing, and floats decorated in the colors of the Mexican flag (green, white, and red).
