Day or hours without music? You menu sounds great, but unless the music is very much in the background, it reduces the pleasure of dining with friends.

the walkers Posted November 20, 2016 Report Share Posted November 20, 2016 Yesterday we were lucky enough to meet a man from Nayarit who had brought a large cooler of shrimp that were caught that morning. Next time he will bring the larger size,but these were amazingly sweet and tender. We have a new chef Monica ,who knows a dozen ways to prepare them,so these dishes will be our weekly special. Also this week we will be open many more hours---still have mediterranean foods thurs-sat 4-8pm and sundays noon -8, but we will be open at &am! for early morning coffee, breakfast and pozole. And also look for us at night during the Festival for beer and excellent pizzas,made by our other new chef, Wenseslao. We are very pleased with our new crew and old friends Oscar and Antonio who will happily serve you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
