Remember Sunday Dinner?  The whole family gathered at Nonna's house and waited in anticipation for the big meal.  The table would be lavished with platters of breaded chicken and veal cutlets, fresh sauteed vegetables and homemade pasta dishes and everyone would sit and share together.

I once heard the Margarita discribed as "The Best of Mexico in a Glass."  And if you think about it, it's TRUE!   

Consider the subtle blend of the citrus and sugar as the spirit of the people, the intoxicating mix of tequila adds a touch of adventure, the refreshment of the ice to refresh your soul like the oceans of blue on the Mexican coasts .... and, of course the salted edge, like a kiss from the sea water, to remind you to taste the Spice of Life!

And nothing beats enjoying that Margarita while dining al fresco on fresh made, delectible food that transports you back to Seaside Mexico... without leaving home!    Take time to enjoy the "Spice of Life" at Salty Senorita!  It's the perfect spot to enjoy "The Best of Mexico" not just in a glass, but on your plate as well!

Springtime in Arizona!  You have to admit, it's the perfect weather for al fresco dining.   

And Arcadia Tavern has the perfect venue for enjoying a fantastic meal in the opened air!  Enjoy the view of beautiful Camelback Mountain from Arcadia's huge wrap around patio while feasting on some of the most delicious food in town.
