Mexico in March?

Mexican Fried Ice Cream

It's the second week in March and this week has certainly seen the levels of snow diminishing.  Could it actually be that spring is almost here?  Certainly with the longer daylight hours and temperatures rising above -40, we all seem to be more hopeful!  

The second week in any month heralds the return of the Mexican menu at McGill's.  McGill's is open three evenings a week to serve you our Mexican delights - Thursday through Saturday 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!
