Mexican Fiesta
Mexican cuisine has been called the most varied and unique in the world. It is also arguably the most misunderstood cuisine in America. With culinary influences from the indigenous Mayans and Aztecs as well as the conquering Spanish and French, it is a cuisine rich with thousands of years of culture. Exciting herbs and spices and bold, pure flavors highlight this naturally healthful fare featuring fresh fruits and vegetables, seafood and chicken. Never again will you mistake heaping portions of ground beef and shredded cheese for an authentic Mexican meal. Sign up today for a sizzling Latin experience.
