America’s favorite Mexican holiday is just around the corner and it’s time to start thinking about where your fiesta will begin. Although this holiday means almost absolutely nothing to Mexicans (Trust me. I am one. Literally.), the U.S. is enamored with this Latin celebration and reason to drink.

Midtown and Downtown Macon has been growing quite noticeably with new eateries specializing in South of the border flavors. No walls here in Bibb County.
