This coming Saturday is FOURTH SATURDAY OF THE MONTH, and THAT means TACOS (AND BURRITOS) AL PASTOR DEL TROMPO!!! These are made and carved in house and several aficionados say they are the best they have ever had! Also, direct from Nashville on Saturday night is 2Country4Nashville, which promises to be an epic show. Tacos, Beer, and Country Music. Honestly... Does it get any better in life?

Our Fridays Happy Hour (thanks, Seth Ortiz) features Chips and our Hatch Chile Queso for 50% off from 3 pm to close! Also draft beers, ciders, wines, and meads are 25% and our popular Beer Buckets are 6 for 5. WARNING: Our queso is SO good that you could be driven into a rage if we neglect to take it way from you prematurely or are late getting it to you.

Also, just also wanted to let you know we have a new Chips option. How about Fresh cut Kettle Chips fried in our beef tallow, and salt and peppered and served hot? That beats a bag of Lays any day! Victoria Connection Magazine Cuero Chamber of Commerce

Seth Ortiz recommended we have a Happy Hour! It's a great idea. We tried it when we opened but it didn't really drive any new customers, but I think it's worth a try again! We are going to institute 50% off Chips and Salsa and QUESO!!!, and 25% off draft beers, wines, ciders and meads, and 6 for 5 Buckets of Beer on FRIDAYS, from 3 PM to Close. So, a meaty Happy Hour, on a FRIDAY, to CLOSE! Can't beat that!

And in honor of the new Tesla Chargers (hopefully turned on darn soon), I decided to buy an EV vehicle. I got the truck, which people either love or HATE. The EVThing is featured on the truck from the front sticker to the rear emboss. I have to admit that I LOVE driving this vehicle. Or better said, I LOVE having this vehicle driving ME. The self driving option is magic. I have let it drive me on freeways in Austin, dirt roads and complex routes in the country, and state highways through towns, including where they are doing interchange construction (between Shiner and Yoakum) and around ambulances and firetrucks, where it slowed and pulled over. In fact, if you see this vehicle around town, it is 90% certain that it's driving itself. For me, that feature is a game changer. Not just a new vehicle, but a chauffeur to boot! I feel like the monkey at the beginning of 2001: A Space Odyssey holding up the bone to the skies. It's that big a deal. I wrote about my experience in social media and someone wrote that they had bought their elderly mom a Tesla for just that reason... to go back and forth to the grocery store and to her canasta games without her or anyone else worrying. That movement you feel is society shifting. Oh yeah, it ALSO goes 0 to 60 faster than a Ferrari!

I hope this tech finds its way to hybrid and combustion engine cars, but it's far more complex an endeavor. EV's are simple. The controls are simple. Best platform to perfect this newly emerging tech. Wouldn't it be cool if your car or truck could do this, regardless of fuel source?

If I'm at the EVThing, ask me for a ride and I'll be happy to show you! Victoria Connection Magazine

Happy Father's Day! I was a lucky guy. My father was a tough, no-nonsense, hard working man who never let me doubt for a second that my brother and I were the most important people in his life. Today is a day for those lucky enough to have that person in their lives. We hope you stop in sometime today. Penchant For Pinups is playing from Noon to 3:00 p.m. and Shane and SHANE & RENEE..Total Entertainment LLC will be doing Family Karaoke from 5 to 8 p.m. Smoked Ribeye with all the trimmings (choice of loaded baked potato, fries, or house chips, and a chopped salad) for $31.99, add a half dozen oysters for $8.00. Never heard of a Smoked Ribeye? Had the good fortune of eating at the late Sam Allen's Barbecue in Abilene several times. He would throw a few steaks on the cold part of his 20' pit for several hours, and started selling them at 5 pm. First come, first served. He would run out by 5:20 or so. He would take them from the pit, drop them in hot butter on a flat top, and serve them up. Woof. Life (and waist) changing event. This is our version. Every First Saturday of the Month and Special with Oysters for Father's Day! Victoria Connection Magazine Cuero Chamber of Commerce
