5ļøāƒ£ de Mayo is around the corner and weā€™ll be walk-in only all eveningā€¦ with ONE EXCEPTION..

Weā€™ll have a single reservable table which YOU CAN WIN ā€” by entering our fun lilā€™ ā€œscorecard raffleā€ next Tue (4/28). Hereā€™s how it works:

1ļøāƒ£ Join us anytime for dinner Tue and youā€™ll receive a scorecard ā€˜menuā€™
2ļøāƒ£ Each menu item has a assigned # of points (denominated in horseshoes); order that item and youā€™ll receive the associated # of raffle entries
3ļøāƒ£ At the end of the meal your entries will be recorded; the more points, the better you chances of winning!
4ļøāƒ£ Weā€™ll draw a winner the next day

Weā€™ll have more details on Cinco coming up (including the return of the strawberry marg..) but wanted to get this table locked down to one lucky winner! See yā€™all Tue

Tā€™s & Cā€™s:
šŸ§‘ā€āš–ļø Reservable table is for a group of 2-4 (or technically up to 6 if youā€™re willing to get cozy in a booth!)
