Once again, the staff of Monterey’s Little Mexico in Alvin, Texas showed their support and participated in the 32nd Annual Frontier Day Celebration Parade on Saturday, April 26, 2008. This is one of the biggest events in Alvin. Frontier Day is hosted by the Alvin Rotary Club as a fundraiser to support local scholarships and other charitable activities in the Alvin area.

The team gathered together early in the morning to decorate the truck that was driven in the parade. Members of our staff, the general manager, regional manger and some of the employee’s children all walked along the parade route handing out candy, toys, cookies and coupons from Monterey’s Little Mexico.

Sean Gonzalez, regional manager for Monterey’s Little Mexico stated, “We arrived at 6:00 a.m. so we could be the first in line for the parade. This is a big event and there was a great turn-out of spectators to watch the parade. People along the parade route really liked receiving the candy, toys, coupons and cookies we handed out. We really had fun participating and it’s great knowing that we were part of something that raised money for a good cause for our community.”

The Humble Monterey’s Little Mexico Restaurant hosted a very special dinner and tequila tasting event on Thursday, August 28, 2008 and it turned out to be a huge success and a sold-out event! 

Guests were served a five course dinner that included several appetizers, salad, soup, choice of dinner entrée and two different desserts.  In between the courses, guests sampled seven different premium hand-made tequilas. The last tequila the guests sampled with dessert cost nearly $300 per bottle. 

“Victor Elias, our Tequila Ambassador, did a fantastic job of teaching our guests about the history of tequila, how it is made and describing the characteristics of the tequila that our guests sampled throughout the evening,” said Ruben Cortez, Director of Operations for Monterey’s Little Mexico. “This was a unique opportunity for us to host a very special dinner event for our customers and we were so happy with the overall enthusiasm from our guests throughout the dinner and tasting,” said Mr. Cortez. 

Since this event was such a great success, the Humble Monterey’s Little Mexico restaurant hopes to host another dinner event like this one in the near future.
