Everybody has to eat, right? So why not do it where there’s a party going on with local celebrities? And your presence makes a difference because it’s in aid of worthy charities.

Setting an altruistic tone we hope is contagious, this community-minded restaurant is the place to be Wednesday nights during high season, when guest hosts spice the night with fun and patrons enjoy award-winning Mexican food.

Ten percent of the take goes to that week’s featured benefit; art, jewelry, champagne and more raffled to raise further funds, the giving often continues long after the evening’s over.

Among recent hosts are Cassandra Shaw of Leona 226, Pam Thompson of Cornerstone Hospital and Grant Hunermund – better known as Mama Dolores of the restaurant of the same name – who just can’t seem to stay away. So don’t be surprised when everyone’s favorite mama struts in and brings down the house with laughter.
