Amigos!

Mateo often hears he doesn't "sound" like he's from Louisiana and he remains puzzled by these comments. If given the chance, he wouldn't have to use his Canadian English-Louisiana English dictionary

Louisiana-Canadiana
Frozen margarita=Blended margarita
Jumbo shrimp=prawns
32-degrees/cold as hell=a nice Spring day
Spicy=three extra grains of salt
Y'all=you guys

Anyway, thanks to all y'all for your support in person and online after the 2-star debacle last month. Don't forget to give other La Manzanilla establishments a 5-star rating on Google Maps as well.

AND THE OSCAR GOES TO..
For the best Google Map review of Crocodile Bar and Cabanas, the winner will be revealed at 6:23 this evening, Tuesday, Dec. 5, 2023, anno Domini. You must be present to win.

PARTY BEFORE THE PARTY, DEC. 5
Don't forget to buy your tickets to the Peluditos-Ambulance event this evening. Chava kicks off his show at 5 p.m. and the sun sets at 6:20 p.m. There's plenty of time to enjoy a margarita at the Crocodile Bar. Even the 2-star reviewer seemed to like the Crocodile Bar margaritas.
