Irma Serrano is a flamboyant and controversial actress. In fact, she’s kind of nuts, just like our beloved San Francisco–totally weird and ahead of her time. That’s why we love her. Her breakout role was alongside Santo in Santo Contra Los Zombies, which is totally rad. By the ‘90s she was the senator of Chiapas. La mujer is muy chida. So listen up cholos, below are the hottest parties and events on cinco de mayo!
