DIDYOU DIDYOU KNOW? KNOW?
Derived from the Latin octo, meaning eight, October’s name is a fascinating historical remnant. This might seem confusing since it’s the tenth month in our current Gregorian calendar.
It’s a fascinating calendar trivia that October always ends on the same day of the week as February of the same year. So, for instance, if February 28, 2023, falls on a Tuesday, then October 31, 2023, will also be on a Tuesday.
October 2, 1925 marks a groundbreaking moment in technological history. It was during this month that the first electronic television was invented.
October 1 - International Coffee Day
October 4 - National Golf Lovers Day
October 4 - National Taco Day
October 7 - World Smile Day
October 10 - Columbus Day
October 21 - National Apple Day
October 31 - Halloween
The reviews are in and it’s a hit! El Jalisciense Mexican Restaurant is now open at 2428 Center Street in Deer Park (former location of Las Hadas restaurant). They are open 7:00am to 9:00pm daily and feature a full breakfast menu. They also have bottled beer, margaritas and tequila shots. The owners are Antonio and Sandra Navarro, who were born and raised from Jesus Maria, Jalisco (motherland of the majority production of Tequila). The family has over 25 years of restaurant experience in our area, and customers are raving about the menu (especially the fajitas).
You can see the full menu at www.eljalisciensedeerp.wixsite.com/eljalisciense or call them at (281) 479-8596.
