Hola, Mexico!

Yes, we are off to Mexico this week at McGill's.  Some people are actually lucky enough to be in Mexico, but I bet you our cuisine is just as good, if not better.  Chef Bond, you better not let me down! 

This menu is becoming increasingly popular, and I must confess it is a firm favourite of mine as well.  I can recommend everything on the menu personally.  With a choice of three appetizers, three mains and three desserts, there's certain to be something to please every palette.   Who doesn't like chips with dip?  If you like something a little hotter, start with the jalapenos and finish with the crème brûlée.  And for a simply fun dessert, try the fried ice cream.  That alone will have you coming back month after month.

I'm showing you our beef tacos this week.  They taste even more delicious than they look.  And I could pretty well guarantee that's sangria in the glass too.  Who will be joining us for dinner?
 
McGill's is open Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings from 5.00pm until 8.00pm.  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!
