Can a Cinco de Mayo Celebration Boost Community Spirit in Multifamily Living?

Cinco de Mayo has a rich history and is widely celebrated across North America, making it a great event for residential communities. Adding some fun facts or trivia can make your celebration even more engaging for residents.

  • Cinco de Mayo is known as “El Día de la Batalla de Puebla” in Mexico, meaning “The Day of the Battle of Puebla.”
  • The first Cinco de Mayo celebration happened spontaneously in California after the Mexican Army won the Battle of Puebla. People dressed in Civil War costumes and held parties with food and music.
  • President Franklin D. Roosevelt recognized Cinco de Mayo to strengthen ties with Mexico through the Good Neighbor Policy.
  • In parts of Canada, Cinco de Mayo involves “skydiving boogie,” an event featuring aerial stunts and air shows. The connection between this activity and May 5th remains unclear.

For community managers, the key takeaway is that you can add creative twists to these events. However, the main attraction will always be the mouthwatering smells coming from the PGS grills. That’s why it’s essential for property teams to invest in high-quality multifamily grills.

Preparing for the Taco Party

Cinco de Mayo brings with it a variety of traditional dishes, including tamales, carnitas, and chilaquiles. For your first community celebration, keep it simple. Ask residents to bring a side dish, set up a taco bar, and prepare flank steak on the PGS grill.

Flank Steak Marinade Recipe

  • 4 pounds of flank steak
  • 2 Tbsp. garlic, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 Tbsp. Chef Merito Steak & Meat Seasoning
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 Tbsp. freshly ground pepper
  • 1 large white onion, sliced

Directions:

  1. Place the steaks in a baking dish and spread the onions over the meat.
  2. Mix garlic, lime juice, orange juice, soy sauce, seasoning, oil, and pepper in a bowl.
  3. Pour the marinade over the meat, cover, and refrigerate for 3 hours.
  4. Let the steak come to room temperature for 20 minutes before grilling.
  5. Preheat the PGS grill to high heat.
  6. Grill the steak for 4 minutes per side.
  7. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
  8. Slice against the grain and serve on warm tortillas.

If you need more steak, adjust the marinade proportionally. A thick cut typically takes 4–5 minutes per side on a high-heat grill. This is also a great chance for the management team to show off their grilling skills and the benefits of using a PGS grill.

Wrap the tortillas in foil and place them on a warming rack or reduce the heat on one side of the grill. As the steak comes off the grill, slice it and serve with fresh tortillas, pico de gallo, guacamole, and side dishes like rice and beans.

Bring Neighbors Together with a Cinco de Mayo Taco Party

Organizing a Cinco de Mayo taco party gives residents a chance to connect and build relationships. Conversations often flow easily over shared meals, and it’s a great way to create a welcoming, friendly atmosphere. Property managers benefit from these interactions, as they reinforce the value of the community and the amenities available.

Residents may ask questions about the PGS grill and when they can use it for their own events. Food, especially grilled meals, has a unique way of bringing people together in a positive and memorable way.

Advantages of Celebrating Cinco de Mayo with a PGS Grill

The combination of great food, good company, and a lively atmosphere will leave a lasting impression on residents. Word-of-mouth from happy tenants can lead to better retention and attract new ones. Property managers across North America choose PGS grills because they are durable, reliable, and built for commercial use in multifamily settings.

These grills come with long warranties and easy-to-replace parts. Their one-hour timer helps save energy, and the self-cleaning grates make cleanup quick and simple. After the party, just flip the grates over, and they’ll be ready for the next use. Cinco de Mayo can be a big win for everyone involved—residents, managers, and the community as a whole.
