Casa Sanchez Mariachi by AKRaven
We picked from among seven nearby Mexican restaurants tonight. Casa Sanchez seemed to be the one that stood out. It sounded like a bit more than the little Mom and Pop places we've been going to when it said to get reservations. It was seven and we got reservations for 8:30pm.
When we got there I didn't find out it was valet parking until I pulled into the parking lot from the alley. The waiting room was quite a different style from any place we've been.
We were seated pretty quick (we did have reservations).
About 9pm a band came on stage. (If you haven't pushed the yellow button with the black arrow, do it now." Since I'm running low on my startup disk, I just made and audio, no video.)
Then another band was recognized (they were eating in the restaurant) and then the musicians fanned around the room to tables where someone had a birthday. The violinist was at one nearby table and a trumpet at another.
Then the wait staff brought out the birthday cakes.
And the trumpeter posed with my mom for a picture. (It was pretty dark so it's quite grainy.)
And there was more dancing as we left.
The bill was 2 to 3 times what we've paid at other places, but the food was good and the atmosphere was great. This was more than the kitchy mariachi bands you hear everywhere.
