Local Augusta Mexican Eatery Will Be Featured On America’s Best Restaurant
A local Mexican restaurant here in Augusta will be featured on a national online show, America’s Best Restaurant. America’s Best Restaurant is a national media program that focuses on bringing attention to local, independently-owned restaurants.
The restaurant selected for this opportunity was Taqueria El Rey’s, owned by Ramiro Galvan. For the show, they will highlight popular dishes at the restaurant and have an interview with the owner.
Taqueria El Rey has proposed 2 opportunities for the community to get involved with:
First, they would like their supporters to decide the 3 items that should be featured on the show.
Supporters of the restaurant have until January 11 to comment their choice on this Facebook post. So far there are a good bit of comments saying that the Quesabirria should be included.
Quesabirria is a popular Mexican dish made with beef birria that is put into a tortilla with lots of melted cheese. The eye catcher of the dish is the side of broth the tacos come with for you to dip them in.
Who ever selects one of the featured dishes and their comment is picked, El Rey’s Owner will be giving out two $25 gift cards to … you guessed it– El Rey’s!
The other thing that community members can participate in is being apart of the show! America’s Best restaurant will be visiting the location on January 11, from3pm to 5pm to record the episode.
