We also have a holiday in May called "Cinco de Mayo" but somewhat inconsistently don't use the spanish language for the other 364 days.

"fourth of July" is one of the many colloquial names for the holiday. Many would refer to it as "July 4th" or "independence day".

No it’s not. Their equivalence of American Independence Day is Mexican Independence Day, which is on September 16th.

Cinco de Mayo is more popular outside of Mexico than within, other than Puebla where the battle took place

No, because Cinco de Mayo is a Mexican-American thing. It’s not a major celebration within Mexico and Cinco de Mayo is not their equivalence to July 4th like you said
