Goodbye 2013, Hello 2014!

2013 is now long gone and we welcome this New Year with open arms and much to be excited about!
With 2014 here, so starts our 68th year serving fresh, authentic Mexican cuisine to the greatest and most loyal guests. (No, we do not have a biased opinion!) While we gear up for upcoming events and promotions we would like to give you a sneak peak of what you can look forward to this year!

We will take a look back over our many years of business to revisit the oldest menu items, while also exploring our new ones. Although many are locked away in the Johnson family safe, you should keep your eyes out for some Macayo’s signature recipes to be released.

Stay tuned for monthly posts to include recipes, “How To” videos, event information, festival results and much more!
