Too cold for ice cream? Not when it's Mexican week at McGill's!

Mexican week is quickly becoming one of my favourites, along with Italian, Mediterranean, Indian and Cajun.  Mexican week has come to mean a dinner date with a school friend.  I didn't say old because we're not.  We didn't do the Mexican Hat Dance last time but we did do the electric slide.

We have no new additions this week, but what we do have is exceptional, I guarantee it!  I have a hard time deciding on an appetizer as all three are wonderful.  I can vouch for every one of the mains and the desserts.  It's just deciding what to have.  And for those of you worried about spiciness, none of these dishes is overly spicy.  Chef Bond really has perfected this cuisine.  The sangria still appears to be flowing too and I, for one, wouldn't want that to go to waste.

McGill's is open Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings from 5.00pm until 8.00pm.  You need to get here and try this food.  You will not be disappointed.  Always freshly prepared, our cuisine will have you coming back for more and eagerly anticipating Mexican week each time it rolls around.  Enjoy fine dining in a relaxed and intimate atmosphere.  Give us a call on (902) 681-3225 and let us reserve a table for you.  We are located at 18 Kentucky Court, New Minas. We'd love to have you join us.

Come and enjoy yourself!  ¡Pásatelo bien!
