The mariachi night is the highlight, but not the only special moment of Mateo’s birthday week.

Friday, Feb. 9: Mariachi night! Only with a ticket.
Saturday, Feb. 10: Free birthday cake for all customers. Customers = people seated at tables who aren’t just saying [redacted as Mateo refrains from sarcasm].
LATEST RUMORS ABOUT MATEO
With the plethora of rumors about Mateo’s future, please understand it is not true Mateo will open a high-end restaurant in New York City. Yes, the high-end restaurants apparently have signs instructing folks to refrain from [redacted], but though Mateo suggests making a reservation for Tuesday nights to get the best seat, reservations have not been required to sit down and order a drink. It is true, however, Mateo has decided to offer counseling to those who find it necessary to ask for no sugar in a margarita.

HOW TO MAKE A RESERVATION
*Send Mateo a text using WhatsApp
*Call Mateo. His phone seems to work these days
*Stop by the bar–during bar hours–and ask for Mateo, Cristal or Belen. Pro tip: The bar is not open before noon. If you confuse Mateo’s clone on site before noon with Mateo, please remove all sharp objects and only make nice comments about the Oxxo, the Four Seasons, and Bill Gates.
*Spread a rumor Mateo is turning 65, not 55, and he will knock on your door at 11 p.m. and prove he’s really turning 55 by remaining awake after 10 p.m., at which point you can make your reservation.
*Comment on this thread predicting the day La Manzanilla will run out of water, or Crocodile Bar will be torn down and Mateo will try to find you the best seat in the house
