🔆MACHACA SATURDAY🍹

Budín Indio is back… and if you know, you KNOW 🔥

Our take on “Mexican lasagna” is layered, baked, and packed with bold flavor, one of those specials people wait for and talk about all week. This is your sign to come grab it while it’s here 👀

Sopa de Lima appetizer special is just the soup you’ve been wanting!!! 🍋

Start your night the right way with our $3 Bar Bite Menu (bar only, 4:30–5:30pm) because let’s be honest, those seats fill FAST.

And when the rest of the town starts shutting down… we’re just getting started.
Late Night Bites every night from 9–11pm 🌙

Seriously, where in town are you eating after 10pm?
We’ve got you covered every single night with late night snacks that actually hit.

Come early, stay late, and don’t miss the Budín Indio 💃

Welcome Back Birds!

You have probably noticed your backyard birds are reappearing and very busy at the feeders. Migration is well under way and we traveled up to Parker River Wildlife Refuge to check it out. We were rewarded with egret and swan sightings as well as some Norther Harriers. So happy to see them back! For additional photos, check out Pat D’s Photos and Adventures on Facebook at this link.

The Greasy Pole waiting

Rick and I went to the Beauport Hotel for lunch on Thursday for Rick’s birthday.  The food, service and view were excellent.  A very relaxing lunch.  The Greasy Pole looked lonely but only a couple of months before the excitement begins.  VIVA
