Save 50% From Local Restaurants (NOT JOKING)

Thanks to the birdie that sent this in…

WCAV has this really ridiculous sounding promotion on their website where you can buy coupons to restaurants and shops that save you 50%.

Our favorites:

Aqui Es Mexico - 50% off. Face value of $30, buy for $15.  It can be used with booze, so long as you buy food.

Maya - 50% off. Face value of $50, buy it for $25.  It can be used with booze, so long as you buy food.

There is a lot of stuff outside of food, so check it out and let us know your favorite.

Restaurant News: Aqui Es Mexico and Escafe (aka “The Cafeteria”)

We have two small bits of restaurant news for you.

First off, Aqui Es Mexico has relocated right next door.  Having replaced the payday loans business which used to be in the same shopping center, the restaurant grew about three fold.  The menu and food stay the same, but be prepared for a much nicer dining experience and an even smaller chance you will have to wait for a table.  Uber ambiance points!

Secondly, a birdie told me that the Escafe dance floor has all the whizz bangs, gizmos and bloopies you could ever want.  I did not get a chance to do a closer inspection, but from the description, it was “totally discified,” complete with bright lights, strobes and the works.  Unfortunately, it’s still separated from the bar area.  Question:  will the average dancer cross the threshold, attracted by the bright lights and thumping base, or is it too much of an abyss?
