owners Adrian and Margarita “Margo” Olvera and their team have reopened Casa Delicias Mexican Restaurant in Hesperia
was forced to close in November 2021 after an early morning fire gutted most of the restaurant that sits on the corner of Hesperia Road and Yucca Street
the Olveras unlocked the metal sliding gate and glass doors to their beloved store
“It was an amazing feeling to serve our faithful and loyal customers once again,” Adrian told the Daily Press
“It took us a while to get back on our feet
Margarita explained that despite the restaurant not being fully remodeled
“We’re only doing takeout mainly because we don’t have dining room seating yet,” Margarita said
“We’re also only doing takeout with a limited menu.”
A glance at the “limited menu,” a double-sided piece of paper inserted into a clear sheet protector
showed nearly a dozen varieties of burritos
The expansive breakfast menu included nearly a dozen varieties of breakfast burritos
the Olveras were joined by their faithful crew
many who have been with the family for nearly 40 years
The Olveras said other “Casa Delicias team” members included Nayeli Murga
“We were so swamped on opening day that we ran out of food and had to close early,” Adrian said
Road to recoveryMargarita said after the fire
she felt lost not knowing what to do since her “livelihood of nearly 40 years was gone.”
I feel like a young chicken even though I’m not a spring chicken anymore,” Margarita said
but I’m happy we could finally open again.”
The couple thanked their army of “loyal customers” for standing with them before and after the fire
their support and kind words,” Margarita said
“We’re going to keep going as long as we can
Adrian said the remodel included a larger dining room with more counter space
new equipment and a fully renovated kitchen
“I can tell you that the estimated cost to get running again was in the triple digits,” said Adrian
who confessed that the road to recovery was “painful
He added that the biggest difference between running a store compared to 2021 is primarily the cost of food and supplies
“The cost of supplies is outrageous,” Adrian said
“We’re also short on staff because it’s difficult to find good help.”
the restaurant only accepts cash and payment via Zelle
Margarita received an early-morning call from their alarm company saying the alarm at the restaurant had gone off but the warning was likely false
saying the sensors detected hot spots in the building
Adrian raced to the eatery and saw smoke billowing out of the decades-old Casa Delicias building
He also saw flames in the front dining area at the front of the building
firefighters were working to gain access to the building via a metal gate that covered the entrance
Adrian opened it and fire crews went to work
the fire had gutted most of the restaurant known for its Mexican food
“When we got here it was just heartbreaking
even though we’re not materialistic and we know what matters is human life and family,” Margarita told the Daily Press
“But just to see your business that you work so hard for
After crews knocked down the blaze in about 45 minutes and it was safe to enter the structure
Margarita showed the Daily Press a back storage area that appeared to have been saved from flames by firefighters
Kitchen equipment melted and refrigerators were charred as light shone in on the burned-out scene from holes in the ceiling
broken windows left shattered glass on the floor
A light fixture dangled from the blackened and exposed roof
said his parents opened Casa Delicias in 1981 and later passed it down to his sister and her husband
Margarita said the timing of the fire was unfortunate “because November and December are our only two busy months.”
“That’s when we get all our profit to survive the rest of the year,” she said
Margarita discovered food order slips that Oak Hills High School and other schools had been expecting that morning

The Las Delicias series was inspired by the tragic events of 30 August 1996
when 60 young soldiers were kidnapped by the FARC guerrilla movement at the Las Delicias military base in southern Colombia
and the survivors were held captive for 288 days
This harrowing event left a profound mark on Colombian society and inspired González to create this poignant series of small paintings
González continues to highlight universal expressions of grief through her work
The Las Delicias series depicts women covering their faces with their hands in an act of mourning
González describes the series as “a representation of pain
a symbol that reflects both individual sorrow and collective suffering
The simple act of hiding one’s face with one’s hands is a universal gesture of loss and mourning.”
De Pont enriches its collection of Beatriz González’s work
emphasizing its commitment to a world perspective and to making the oeuvre of this influential Latin American artist more accessible

This week our search for the best tacos in Chatt town took me to La Delicia Latin Cuisine off Rossville Blvd
once parked by Tienda Aguila at the corner of 30th Street and Rossville Blvd
literally within walking distance of my house
On a few occasions I ordered their chicken and rice plates
But they had already moved the restaurant from the trailer into its current location at 4308 Rossville Blvd
Although completely remodeled with new tables
you can still tell this was once a Pizza Hut
although sometimes their music is a bit too loud
I know I’ve been going on and on about authentic street tacos
but eating here has opened my mind to what a taco is or could be
like how they prepare the shells for a Birria taco
Here’s the twist – the onions were sliced and GRILLED and they were also topped with a tiny amount of finely chopped cabbage
let me tell you what – I am now hooked on the concept of my tacos having grilled onions - ALWAYS
it changed the flavor profile dramatically
The slight crunch from the cabbage was needed as the tortillas were soft and juicy
use a fork and knife (confession - I used utensils
This is another place with an expansive menu
or shrimp or a combination of two with beans and rice
They offer vegetarian options and have desserts
mom and I often ordered from the trailer and split a plate of their pechuga a la plancha
It’s delicious and something different if you don’t want to have tacos
One section of the menu lists some items they call authentic Guatemalteca
I know I’ll be trying some of these on my next few visits
One is their Pollo con papas (Fried chicken with French fries)
but this plate is unique in that the chicken and fries are covered in ketchup
mayonnaise and their homemade spicy Guatemalan sauce
but this dish comes out of the kitchen looking more like a Mexican flag – chicken and fries covered in white
Two things I’ve never seen or known about until I looked through their menu
Both are a variation of what we call a hot dog
and a sausage stuffed into a Guatemalan bread and topped with guacamole
but the steak and sausage are wrapped in a flour or corn tortilla
This place is proud of their heritage and the surrounding Guatemalan community
They often host events celebrating Guatemalan holidays
Their restaurant is available to rent for special events and birthdays
Tienda Aguila moved to a new location in Red Bank and is planning to open a second La Delicia next to the store

An agro-technical boarding school is the subject of this striking documentary
which offers vignettes of growing pains and childlike wonder
Eduardo Crespo’s sensitive documentary follows a cohort of boys at an Argentina agro-technical boarding school called Las Delicias (The Delights)
the students’ day-to-day rituals in the countryside appear quite ordinary
they go to classes or tend the crops on campus
they play video games or hang out with their peers
it is these quiet moments of adolescent togetherness that are the most revelatory
Here is a film about the unseen intimacies between boys
and how they learn to interact with the world at large
Many of the pupils come to Las Delicias with an interest in agriculture
while others are looking for rehabilitation after being expelled from other schools
but doesn’t dwell extensively on any single individual
lingering instead on vignettes of growing pains and childlike wonder
a boy frets in the doctor’s office about a sore throat; the next we see another pupil sweetly looking after a fallen bird
The recurring mention of a missing phone along with the teachers’ gentle pleas for the responsible party to step forward also lends the piece a dose of drama – with a very moving conclusion
Crespo’s film barely digs into how Las Delicias operates as a school
we occasionally see female students on school grounds
yet it remains unclear if this institution is co-ed
the depiction of boys’ inner lives remains a striking one
a touching bookend that embodies the circular nature of youth itself
The Delights is on True Story from 1 November

this Latin eatery is expanding with its first Flagler County location
Delicias Centro Americanas plans to open its third location at 100 S. State St. in Bunnell, formerly Dex N Angie House of Flavor

Both Martinez and Madrid say they’ve been highly involved in the brand’s new location
working closely with owner Maria Menjivar to bring the family-owned spot to life
while her second location opened shop a few years later in Ormond Beach
which according to Madrid came to fruition rather spontaneously when the space went on the market over the summer
will have a nearly identical menu to the brand’s Volusia County locations
with the anticipated addition of a full bar and a new American breakfast selection
featuring homemade pancakes and other classic mornings bites

eager to bring “something different” to the area
Delicias Centro Americanas has become a local staple for vibrant Central American cuisine
offering a robust menu that ranges from the best-selling handmade pupusas and crispy beef
chicken or cheese empanadas to the Mexican soft tacos
with my personal favorites being the shredded chicken and chorizo
cilantro and freshly-squeezed lime on a homemade corn tortilla
“I feel like they don’t have too much options when it comes to food over here," Madrid said
I feel like a Hispanic restaurant will be nice for (residents)
so we can share a little bit of our Hispanic food to them
Other menu options include the carne asada (grilled steak); fried chicken; Honduran enchiladas and ground beef or chicken pastelitos — a savory
cheese and dressing; as well as the Guatemalan pepián de pollo — a traditional chicken stew and Guatemala’s national dish; the Mexican burritos

The 38-year-old veteran proved she still has plenty of game left, hitting the clutch three-pointer that secured a win against Indeportes Antioquia and clinched the top spot for her team. Harris was consistently outstanding across all three games, finishing as the league leader in efficiency with a rating of 21.0. The forward averaged 17.3 points on 50 percent shooting from beyond the arc (8-16), 7.7 rebounds, and 1.7 steals per game.
Collier was a dominant force on both ends of the court for the American team, playing a pivotal role in their qualification for the Final Four. The 27-year-old forward averaged 19.3 points per game, the third-highest in the league, and was a defensive powerhouse, contributing 6.0 rebounds, 3.3 steals, and 2.0 blocks per game, leading the league in steals and blocks.
After being named MVP in Indeportes Antioquia’s 2023 South American Women’s Basketball League title run, Muñoz returned to the team and continued to shine. She was the standout performer for head coach Luis Cuenca’s squad, averaging 16.7 points, with a 41 percent success rate from three-point range (9-22), 8.7 rebounds, and 2.0 steals. Her efficiency rating of 17.7 was the third-best in the league.
Davis was the most consistent performer for the Mexican team throughout the competition. While Argentina’s Camila Suárez led the offensive charge with 21.0 points per game, she didn’t play in the final matchup. Davis, however, continued her steady production, nearly averaging a double-double with 9.3 points, 9.7 rebounds, and 2.0 assists per game. She also led her team with an efficiency rating of 14.3.

PRODUCTION / FUNDING Spain
by Alfonso Rivera
María Hervás and the filmmaker’s son Pablo Colomo star in this comedy being produced by the director himself alongside Telespan 2000
I intend to repeat that experience while banking on a more well-rounded team
but also while attempting to preserve the most important thing
which is freedom when it comes to tackling the screenplay and the ability to improvise with characters I know very well,” he remarked
co-written by Colomo and his son Pablo (who also acts in the feature)
sets out the views that they each have on politics
and the complexity of the art world and its speculative market
“I want the dialogue to benefit from a certain freedom
always in search of the truth and laying bare the characters’ contradictions using dry humour.”
it tells of how Fermín (played by Fernando Colomo)
The crisis he is enduring is not only financial in nature
as he has split up with his wife and has been forced to live in the workshop of his artist friend Javier de Juan
located in an underground garage in central Madrid
But Fermín is hiding the fact he has an unsteady hand
which makes it difficult for him to continue painting
This is why he rejects the suggestion by his gallery owner and ex-wife Pepa (played by Carmen Machi) to enter a lucrative competition to make a new version of Hieronymus Bosch’s triptych The Garden of Earthly Delights
two events will cause him to change his mind: the notification that his bank accounts and cards have been frozen
who rocks up from India and parks his camper van in his father’s house-cum-garage
father and son will have to put their artistic and personal differences behind them if they want to join forces to make a modern version of Bosch’s masterpiece
Las delicias del jardín is a production by Comba Films (Colomo’s own company) and Telespan 2000, part of the Squirrel Media group, which boasts the involvement of Prime Video and has received development support from the CAM. Vértice 360 will distribute it in Spanish theatres

(This profile appeared originally in the Nov
2022 edition of the Birmingham Times and has been updated)
While attending Auburn University in Montgomery (AUM)
Delicia Mason did her clinicals at Children’s of Alabama and knew that the facility was the only place she wanted to work
“I didn’t want to be at any hospital other than Children’s
That’s just where my passion is—with pediatrics,” she said
Not only did she get a chance to work at the hospital but is now vice president of nursing operations at Children’s of Alabama
Mason is responsible for the oversight of daily inpatient nursing operations inclusive of critical care
She previously served as Chief Nursing Officer
Being CNO “pulled in all responsibility for nurses at Children’s of Alabama,” she said
and even outside of nursing as an organization
… [We’re] in this period of intentional focus on staff
not just with self-care for our leaders but what do we do as an organization to really support them.”
Her career at Children’s for the past 26 years was the perfect fit because of her work in pediatrics and caring for children
It’s the innocence of what [children] bring every day
how they can build you up even when they may not be feeling the best
It’s not uncommon to see superheroes walking down the hallway
and they sometimes are a source of strength for the kids
“There are occasions when we have superhero characters dressed and available in areas to visit with patients and their families
… Those are the things we miss over time as we grow into adults
… You lose that kind of innocence and that general sense of what it feels like to be a child.”
alongside one older sibling and two younger siblings
She attended George Washington Carver High School
adding that she chose the instrument because “the keys fascinated me and seemed challenging to maneuver
I thought it would be fun to give it a try
and I would sit and listen to her rehearse when spending time at my grandparents’ house during the summer months.”
Mason attended Alabama Agriculture and Mechanical University (AAMU) in Huntsville
“I had a lot of fun during my freshman year at [AAMU]
My parents thought I was having a little too much fun,” she said
Mason played in the clarinet section for the Marching Maroon and White Band
She acknowledges that her focus was not where it needed to be
so she returned home and transferred to AUM
where she earned a bachelor’s degree in nursing
She practiced at Montgomery Regional Hospital (now LewisGale Hospital Montgomery) and Baptist Medical Center South before moving to Birmingham
because my original plan included becoming a pediatrician
he really talked about nursing and said he thought it would be great for me
“who was there to support me throughout the time,” she said
“He reinforced the importance of hard work and the importance of being an independent adult
[My siblings and I] would consistently hear this message growing up,” Mason added
“He helped me believe I could achieve anything and that anything is possible
And although there were times I thought he was a little tough on us
I appreciate every life lesson he took the time to share with my siblings and me.”
Mason moved to Birmingham in 1998 when her husband’s job relocated
“I stayed [in Montgomery for most] of my life until I moved and [joined] Children’s of Alabama
so it took me about three months to get an interview for a job,” she said
adding that she started at Children’s in 1998
when she accepted a job in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU)
moved into subbing in and handling some charge nurse responsibilities
and then transitioned into being a nursing unit educator responsible for onboarding new nurses and overseeing the orientation period to ensure quality learning about the PICU.”
Mason held that position for several years before earning a master’s degree in Nursing Health Systems Administration from the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) in 2014
“Then I moved on to focus more on nursing quality work
[looking] at how we can provide optimal patient outcomes,” she said
then I decided to take the leap into administration”
Mason took a nursing division director position
which involved being accountable for all of the inpatient acute-care floors and acute-care units
as well as the emergency department and dialysis facility
she was promoted to the role of vice president of nursing operations
which incorporated all of the inpatient areas; all of the hospital’s division directors report to her
Asked what prompted her decision to transition into administration after working with children for so long
“It wasn’t really until I completed my master’s studies
which really made me start thinking seriously about administration
“[The UAB Master’s in Nursing Health Systems Administration] program really enlightened me to the different side of nursing in reference to the decision making
and how to transfer that over to complement and help build and support frontline teams.”
Mason was able to accomplish her goals with the help of mentors
“I think it’s very important to have a mentor
especially when you’re heading into uncharted territories you are not familiar with.”
and they have seven children: Terrence; LaDarius; Marquise; Jackie; Sydney; Kelia; and Paris
Nursing shortages have always been a concern in the medical community
and even more so during the COVID-19 pandemic
That has not gotten in the way of care at Children’s
“We experienced consistent state of shortages for nurses even before [the pandemic]
but COVID-19 magnified the need for nurses
and [Children’s of Alabama] has not been exempt from that
but the passion for why we do what we do as nurses has not deviated
We have professionals who work tirelessly to serve the needs of our patients.”

delivering diversified communications solutions and serving as Regional and Global Client Leader for some of Edelman’s largest clients
During her two and a half years as CEO of Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area
Tan has anchored the business post-pandemic and built a strong integrated communications team that delivers borderless
communications advisory solutions for clients across the region
Her newly expanded remit to now include Singapore comes as Julia Wei departs the firm to pursue a new venture at the end of the month
said: “Delicia’s new role is an acknowledgement of her experience and contribution to our firm
We have a strong team and a great set of clients in Singapore
I am confident that we will continue to do impressive work in that market
I would like to thank Julia for her contribution to the Edelman business in APAC
“We are also very pleased to have Gigg onboard to lead our business in Thailand
we are strengthening our ability to deliver the best communications advisory solutions for our clients across Asia Pacific
I am confident both Gigg and Delicia will make positive impact in their new positions.”

The construction of a five-star hotel on the grounds of the privately owned Las Delicias car park
which is right next to Malaga's historic city centre
Although plans for replacing the 4,000-square-metre car park
located between Calle Don Rodrigo and Calle Marqués de Valdecañas
have been on the table for more than five years
Catalan hotel chain Yurbban has signed an option to purchase agreement with land owners
The project shines a light on the hotel fever that has permeated the city council
with intentions to expand Malaga's stock of higher category hotels
the new establishment will transform the area where the current car park is located
The company behind this project is the tourist accommodation chain Yurbban
a Catalan group that is in the process of expanding across the country
has already stated that one of their objectives is to land in Malaga
Last year they signed an option to purchase contract for Las Delicias
Assessment by the city council's urban planning department is already under way
Promoters of the project have presented a detailed study drawn up by Benalmádena-based architect Juan Ramón Montoya Molina
who has been involved in other hotel projects in both Malaga city and province - the Ilunion hotel on Paseo de Antonio Machado and boutique hotel Teatro Romano on Calle Alcazabilla
Seville investors also proposed a hotel project for this site back in 2019
There are several urban planning conditions that any project for the area must respect
The current urban development plan for Malaga's historic centre has proposed the creation of a central public square that would connect Calle Molinillo del Aceite and Calle Carmelitas
Whatever new construction is built in the site of the car park would be attached to the back of the buildings on Calle Álvarez
with a façade facing the new public square
The city council's project covers the entire area and includes not only the pavilion and columns of the old 19-century public baths
but also a vaulted structure of reinforced concrete that was built in the 1950s
Considering that the new proposal foresees the construction of an underground car park that can maintain the number of parking spaces offered by Las Delicias
it should take into account the archaeological protection of the site
The area is included in the general urban development plan (PGOU) as a site for protection
as it once formed part of Fontanalla - a neighbourhood from medieval times
The district was characterised by pottery activity of which several remains have already appeared in works carried out in the area around the church of San Felipe Neri
Whether this new project for a hotel will be accepted will be known in the next few months
What does seem clear is that it would contribute to the transformation of Malaga's city centre
where work is already under way to set up the headquarters of an international business school
The institution will be located in what used to be the convent of the Nazarene nuns - a building annexed to the space where the hotel is to be built
It will be a training centre of the French business school ESSCA
which is expected to open its doors next autumn and receive around a thousand students each year

If you only know a handful of Spanish words
here’s one you might want to add to your vocabulary: medialuna
What’s a medialuna? It’s a flaky, crescent-shaped croissant/brioche hybrid, full of sweet dough and vanilla. And it’s a specialty of a Lawrence restaurant and bakery specializing in South American food, Delicias del Sur, set to open soon in the former RPG space at 724 Massachusetts St
longtime Lawrence resident Romina Novick has pulled together a unique and personal group of South American and Cuban comfort food experts
She’s tapping her extended family of abuelas (grandmothers)
who long have gathered at holidays and other events to celebrate family and food.
“No professional culinary background at all,” says Novick
“Only the knowledge from seeing my mom cook
Our culture cooks a lot of homemade food.”
We all may have to learn some Spanish to explore Delicias del Sur’s menu. Expect a wide array of Latin American treats when it opens in the coming weeks (keep an eye on its Facebook page at this link for opening plans)
“We will have a variety of products,” Novick says
“Crepes for brunch and all day as well as Venezuelan arepas
and we are working very hard on the bakery area to bring Uruguayan-style bread and bizcochos
We are bringing a little bit from all of South America.”
Novick’s uncle Eldo and aunt Jo had a farm south of Ottawa that served as a jump from Latin America to the Midwest.
then we moved to El Pinar Canelones,” she says
“When I turned 12 we came to Lawrence and went back at 14 years of age
At 19 years old I came to Lawrence to stay.”
She had the idea for the restaurant not long after moving here
and he brought another family flavor to the restaurant dream
His sister contributed their Cuban influence to the menu
a famous Cuban root side dish enjoyed during holidays
also known as stuffed plantain cups.
It’s recipes like these that helped to kick Novick’s idea into reality: the ones that come from la familia
“We had different business(es) and the moment arrived when digging a little on my family story,” she says
“My uncle from Ottawa shared the story that my grandma
had a small tea house in Uruguay called Te Til (useful to you)
My uncle had all the recipes that my grandma had been saving for many years
along with those my mom sent me (and) some of the ones she had back in Uruguay as well
And that’s when the wish I had seemed like it needed to become real.”
As Novick and her family planned the restaurant
Friends and family expressed that they wanted the tastes and flavors they knew from home
So the menu will cross multiple South American borders
You’ll see some familiar spices and ingredients at Delicias del Sur
dulce de leche is a well-known decadent confection made with sweetened milk
But Novick anticipates that guests may be surprised by the texture
Novick hopes that Delicias del Sur will make South American food more familiar to Lawrence
creating a place “wherever home is a little closer.”

Joshua Aldarondo is the owner and head baker of Delicias Bakery in Colorado Springs
He has the technique to make all types of bread but the creative element that motivates him is all about understanding chemistry
and age-old techniques to create a beautiful taste
“I think it’s a combination of a lot of things
starting from the basic technique and the knowledge
The bookmark basics you should get at school
but you hardly get an introduction to that.”
Aldarondo started working as a baker at the Ritz Carlton in Naples
Florida in 2007 and learned French techniques from a Master Chef there
“So that kind of spiked the passion for bread
I didn’t know what exactly I was going to do if I was going to do bread
Aldarondo eventually became the head baker there
Because I think the love for what you do is what’s going to make you take care of the bread
so the customers can have it just the way they want it.”
Aldarondo says the magic of making bread is derived from the fact that there are only four main ingredients: water
you’re making dozens of different types of flavor profiles and textures.” The policy (especially when he worked at 5-star hotels including as head baker at The Broadmoor) is that the customer is always right
It didn’t matter what it took or how much it cost
and so on.” He brought that mindset to his own business
An example he gives is the rye bread he makes for Colonel Mustard’s Sandwich Emporium
“I’m trying not just for the bread to taste good
and be practical for our customers.” In building the rye bread that Colonel Mustard uses
Aldarondo says never liked the marble rye from the big stores because “there’s no finesse
Instead of just tumbling both rye doughs together to make a single rye loaf
he separates them and places them together
you have a nice presentation,” not just of the sandwich
but the bread as well because of the definition of the layers.
Aldarondo works a lot with the acidity of the bread
Monitoring the acidity helps keep the bread from getting stale or molding
especially with the altitude and lack of moisture in the Colorado Springs area
“I try to educate our customers on how to handle the bread properly
and it got this moldy in two days.’” He says bread that lasts a day is just money in the trash
Most of his customers in the restaurant industry order once a week
He did some research and development work at Delicias for a rice flour company out of Japan
They reached out to the master baker community about making different breads using their local rice flour
The creations that Aldarondo made used their black rice
One of the breads he made was a Dutch crunch bread
“What you see on top is a mixture of the rice
and oil,” Aldarondo says the bread is one of his favorites because it is nice and soft
“You get the crunchiness from the rice topping but then you get a nice
you get those two contrasts of the flavor with the crunchiness of the rice and the softness of the bread
The importance of making bread in the Springs all comes down to time in Colorado
and then we have the altitude and the high pressure and low pressure that change during the week and change during the seasons of the year.” During
Adarondo thereby uses less yeast because there is less pressure holding the bread down allowing the expansion of the gasses
Aldarondo must put all his bread in plastic bags to maintain them
Many customers ask for a crunchy baguette with a nice crust
the moisture that is kept inside the bread migrates to the crust and makes the crust soft (inside the bag).”
Many people don’t understand that part
They come and touch the bread and like it soft
but it’s going to be a crouton in five hours.” The example he uses is that if a restaurant is going to be running 10
Aldarondo says “Puerto Rico is a merging point from so many other cultures.” One of the great aspects he learned growing up there is the knowledge of being able to adapt
How you treat it and how you adapt to the different climate is crucial.”
most of the time so there is not too much worry about the bread drying out if it was left on the table for 50 minutes
Alchemy and atmosphere tend to make a difference in elevation and pressure
I have to be aware of the weather and how it’s going to change in the next couple of days.”

KIRAN BRAR | OPINION COLUMNIST | kbrar@butler.edu
Only 10 minutes away from campus is Delicias Jalisco, a local ice cream shop right off of 38th Street. It is located in a random strip mall, so it might be overlooked by some. I decided on visiting here after seeing a picture of their mangollada on a friend’s Snapchat story
This mango sorbet is topped with fresh mango
Just writing about it makes my mouth water all over again
we viewed the menu largely printed on the wall with ease
It was safe to assume that many of the items were freshly made just by looking through the items—that
and the large piles of fruit that were behind the counter confirmed my suspicions
I really appreciated the pictures next to the text because I like to see what I’m getting into before ordering
Zambrzycki noted that the menu was easy to read because each Hispanic food had an English translation right next to it
and we were helped right away,” Zambrzycki said
I got the mangollada without hesitation because I am a sucker for the mango and tajin combo
Paletas are a Mexican frozen treat that are very similar to popsicles
We decided to sit inside to eat our frozen treats because we didn’t want them to melt on the drive back to campus
we were just really excited to try what we ordered
I found the mangollada to be just as good as I anticipated—sweet with the perfect level of spicy
The mango sorbet was a little sweeter than I expected it to be
but each bite incorporated some spice due to the generously added tajin and chamoy sauce
I really enjoyed the tamarind covered straw at the end because it tasted just like Pulparindo candy
It was like the cherry on top for my tastebuds
I found the $5 price to be reasonable for this unique drink
“It [the paleta] was everything I could’ve imagined—not too sweet
not too watery and the perfect blend of milk and cookies,” Zambrzycki said
Zambrzycki and I just wanted a quick fix of dessert during our visit
but I would happily stop in again to try their food

Friends Mary Vasquez Ortiz and Esteffania Reyes had a hard time finding a restaurant in Pensacola that reminded them of their Dominican roots
Their finished product, Delicias Latin Food and Bar, will hold its grand opening at 1741 E. Nine Mile Road in University Town Center on Friday
it was really difficult for me because I miss my mother's food," co-owner Reyes said
The cuisine is intended to bring the flavors of the Caribbean to the Panhandle
fried plantains and tropical fruits all incorporated into the menu
Some of the items that star on the Delicias menu
like the Latin chicken croquettes — deep-fried
stuffed balls of goodness — are near impossible to find locally
and I see nothing around here," Ortiz said
Two more restaurants to join plaza: Three new restaurants coming to University Town Center on Nine Mile. See what they are:
Gud Vybz brings Jamaican jerk to the 850: Milton hidden gem, Gud Vybz Jamaican Grill, to bring authentic Jamaican fare to Pensacola
Everything on the menu — from the soups to the starters to the sweets — are all made from scratch using fresh
As Ortiz goes down the menu and describes each item
she shares a story of how each dish reflects an aspect of Caribbean culture
it is common to catch a fish out of the Caribbean Sea and throw it on a grill
a mural of the beach stretches the dining room wall so guests can see the sea for themselves
Other traditional items from the Dominican garnish the restaurant's walls
The restaurant's tiki-styled bar is wrapped with metal sheets often used in housing in the country
A little bit of NOLA comes to P'Cola: Restaurant NOLA makes debut in downtown Pensacola. Here's what to expect.
Ortiz even incorporated a common catchphrase into the restaurant's décor
using the expression "Una vaina bien," loosely translated as "something nice," as a neon photo backdrop
with a small seating area for guests who want to stay and a carry-out option for those looking for food on the go
A case in the front of restaurant will be filled with daily
along with a case of hot-and-ready empanadas
She said she is most looking forward to familiarizing Pensacola with Dominican culture and its dishes
a grilled steak cooked with onions and topped with a parsley-based
"Every time I go home to visit the Dominican Republic
Delicias will host a soft opening starting at 5:30 p.m
The full menu will be available from 8 a.m
Regular hours of operation are still to be determined and are subject to change

What originally started out as a mobile trailer has moved up into its own brick & mortar establishment
they’ve been operating out of a trailer near 21st & Waco
When a spot opened up in the strip center there
they were quick to jump at the opportunity to own their own little shop
Facebook
If you’ve never been Las Delicias ICT
they serve many refreshing Mexican treats like aguas frescas
They also have a selection of elote creations to choose from such as the one seen below from their mobile trailer
they had around six tables but not all of them were open due to social distancing
they had a selection of twelve different ice cream flavors
I saw a flavor called gansito that I was unfamiliar with
gansito is a Mexican snack cake that is filled with strawberry filling and cream that is dipped in chocolate
The snack cake is mixed in with sweet condensed milk
It had a gummier texture which was also quite creamy that I loved
The strawberry flavor was probably the most noticeable
I’m going to have to get my hands on some gansito snack cakes now
My ice cream was complimented by a strawberry/limeade drink that was as equally delicias as the shop’s name suggest
I’ve never heard of it before but it looked like I was the only person not getting one
Rusas are a traditional Mexican fruit soda
It is typically made using citrusy and nectarous fruits like oranges
Some people also add fresh coconut to the drink
The twist comes from ingredients like chamoy sauce and chili powder
A nearby table let me snap a picture of theirs for reference:
I very much enjoyed my first visit to Las Delicias’ new location
There were so many things on the menu I haven’t had before and look forward to trying

When Margarita Olvera first received the early-morning call that the alarm in her Hesperia restaurant had gone off
she said she was told that the warning was likely false
though, the company monitoring the Casa Delicias alarm system called back: Sensors were detecting hot spots in the building
raced over to their eatery on Hesperia Road
he was met with a sight no business owner wants to see
Smoke was pouring out of the decades-old Casa Delicias building
a beloved eatery that has been part of the family since the early 1980s
He could see flames in the front dining area where customers normally sat
firefighters were working to gain access to the building via a metal gate that covers the entrance
Adrian Olvera opened it and the crews went to work
the fire gutted most of the restaurant known for its Mexican food and homemade tortillas
“When we got here it was just heartbreaking
even though we’re not materialistic and we know what matters is human life and family,” Margarita Olvera said
“But just to see your business that you work so hard for
First responders were called to the fire at 9436 Hesperia Road shortly before 4 a.m
San Bernardino County Fire Battalion Chief Mike McClintock said
He said several 911 callers reported seeing smoke coming from the restaurant
McClintock said crews started attacking the fire from the inside and on the roof
Margarita Olvera described a hectic scene of firefighters “swarming everywhere.”
Crews knocked down the blaze in about 45 minutes
Margarita Olvera showed the Daily Press a back storage area that appeared to have been saved from flames by firefighters
Kitchen equipment melted and refrigerators were charred as light shone in on the burned-out scene from holes in the Casa Delicias ceiling
county investigators were working to determine the cause of the fire
said his parents opened Casa Delicias in 1981 and later passed it down to his sister and her husband
He and others worked Wednesday afternoon to board up the building until insurance adjusters could come to inspect it
Sanchez said many people had already reached out in concern after hearing about the blaze
Some had even pulled up to Casa Delicias in the hopes of ordering a meal since the building looked relatively undamaged from the outside
“What are we going to eat now?” Sanchez recalled one family saying
Margarita Olvera said the timing of the blaze was particularly unfortunate “because November and December are our only two busy months.”
“That’s when we get all our profit to survive the rest of the year,” she said
Margarita Olvera worried about who would feed her loyal customers
She pulled out pieces of paper that had somehow survived: Order slips for burritos and items that Oak Hills High School and other schools had been expecting that morning
“When you’ve been serving the community so long

(VVNG.com) — The beloved Casa Delicias restaurant in Hesperia was damaged during an early morning fire
San Bernardino County Firefighters were dispatched to a commercial structure fire at 9436 Hesperia Road
Firefighters arrived and reported they had heavy smoke from the roof and flames showing through the steel-framed doors of the front entrance
Crews worked quickly to gain entry and cut holes on the roof to help ventilate the structure
The vast majority of the fire was knocked down in approximately 30 minutes
Firefighters were able to save the structure from being totally destroyed
it’s unknown how much of the inside of the restaurant was damaged by the fire
Casa Delicias is a family-owned business that has been around for several decades and is truly cherished by many residents
VVNG member Jillynne Allison commented on a post and said
“let’s come together and support this family-owned business
We’ve been going here for over 17 years.”
No injuries were reported and the cause of the fire is under investigation

and sustainability will continue to go hand in hand until 2026 at the Jardín de las Delicias Festival thanks to the agreement between Endesa and the event itself
The entry of the energy company in 2022 represented a significant step forward in the environmental measures that the festival had already begun to implement
This progress has been recognized by the independent international auditor A Greener Festival with the Improvers award
won by the festival in the 2022 and 2023 editions
coinciding precisely with the entry of Endesa as a sustainable sponsor
for the progress made in implementing initiatives in environmental respect
"announcing the renewal of our agreement with Jardín de las Delicias is the best way to welcome all the fans who today and tomorrow will enjoy one of the best festivals of the season
going far beyond brand presence to help the live music sector on its path to creating more sustainable events
sharing special moments that only music can create."
promoter of the Jardín de las Delicias festival
has highlighted that "extending the sponsorship agreement with Endesa until 2026 confirms the continuity of a success story that allows us to have more resources to offer all attendees the unique and at the same time sustainable experience that is distinctive of our festival
We have already held five editions and have managed to establish ourselves as an event with its own personality
marked by a lineup always full of stars and imbued with the world of illusion and magic reflected in El Bosco's painting Jardín de las Delicias
And all this with sustainability measures that we strive to maintain and improve year after year."
It is estimated that attendee and artist mobility accounts for approximately 80 percent of a festival's emissions
Jardín de las Delicias presents one of its great strengths
as it features an exclusively national lineup
resulting in significant savings in emissions caused by international travel
thanks to the agreement between the Madrid Municipal Transport Company
attendees will once again have access to a special electric and free bus service making continuous round trips from Moncloa to virtually the entrance of the venue at the University City of Madrid
recalled that this service "has already been used by 10,000 travelers across the 2022 and 2023 editions
This initiative aligns with EMT's commitment to the city
The buses in this service will once again allow thousands of Madrid residents to reach and leave the festival in an easier and more sustainable way."
The circular economy is another fundamental pillar of this fifth edition of Jardín de las Delicias
the percentage of reused materials from the previous year has increased from 70 percent to 90 percent
other materials such as banners covering sound towers
which had reached the end of their useful life
from stage to decorative lights across the venue
This technology has reduced consumption by 60 percent compared to traditional lighting commonly used at festivals six years ago
100 percent of the 2023 emissions have been offset through the planting of 411 trees in Navalacruz (Ávila)
which will absorb 85 tons of CO2 over the next 50 years
the festival will once again feature a battery that will allow assembly and disassembly work to be carried out with a fully electric and renewable power supply
All these efforts will ensure that enjoying the 41 performances of the festival is an exciting experience while advancing in respect for the planet
The Endesa stage will host performances by 84
Endesa is a leading electric company in Spain and the second largest in Portugal
It is also the second-largest gas operator in the Spanish market
Endesa operates an integrated business of electricity generation
It also offers electric mobility services and other value-added services aimed at the electrification of energy uses in homes

GRAND FORKS — Mom-and-pop restaurants are known in many cities across the country
It’s located in the old Knights of Columbus building just off University Avenue in north Grand Forks
Brothers-in-law Francisco Francies Montoya and Carlos Carranza and their wives
are the primary figures involved in the business
The families also are involved in Carranza and Sons construction company
working in Grand Forks as framers for such new developments as the Memorial Village
“Our food is going to be something different that’s here in town,” Montoya said
The people in town who have tried our food
The family has made lunch for the work crew at Carranza and Sons
others took notice and asked if they could join for lunch
the family catered lunch at a few businesses in town
They bought a food truck about seven months ago but decided it was time to open at a permanent spot
we did a lot of events for businesses,” Montoya said
“They actually told us we should open up a restaurant
Montoya said everything is being made from scratch
we probably wouldn’t have come into play with the actual restaurant,” he said
“They actually came and offered it to us.”
Hours for the restaurant will be from 9 a.m.-10 p.m
“It’s going to be a little part of Mexico,” Belen Berber said
After opening their Mexican restaurant called “Delicias” in Desert Hot Springs in July 2019
the Olvera family was off to a great start
They offered some of their grandmother’s favorite family recipes and authentic Mexico City “street food.” Like home cooking
“We had to keep the ship from sinking,” said Cesar Olvera
All are in their early 30’s and first time restaurant owners
In crisis mode with nearly a $190,000 investment from their combined life savings
“We had to do damage control quickly,” Cesar said
“and we brain stormed different ideas and restructured everything.” Indoor dining was shut down everywhere but the business itself was not closed
The trick was to keep money flowing even though customers could not walk in the door.
With the rent coming due and employee payroll to meet
they started catering lunches to three local businesses with a combined total of 160 employees
but it made a difference,” Cesar said
They condensed the menu choices to 10 and included non-Mexican items like pizza
mac and cheese based on lunch customer’s preferences
They had to cut employees from 10 to five and abbreviate the take-out menu to cut costs
SurvivalThe restaurant is still afloat currently serving indoors at a mandatory 25 per cent capacity to insure social distancing and plus outdoor seating on two patios
Employees previously laid off are returning
Restaurants in Riverside County and statewide could close again
Most small mom and pop businesses depend completely on local support from customers
the Olvera brothers were no strangers to working in restaurants in Palm Springs
Armando worked as a manager at Bill’s Pizza and Cesar served as a bartender for years
she cooked along side her mother and grandmother in the kitchen where they made a feast for up to 40 relatives every Sunday
Angelica has taken the family recipes—which called for a pinch of this and a handful of that—and written them in restaurant portions
measuring a tablespoon of this and a cup of that
the restaurant serves certain items that are endemic to Mexico City
a tortilla made with “masa” corn flour — a bit thicker than a wheat tortilla — is flash fried and made into a taco
“City people are always in a hurry,” Cesar said
“They can grab one of these on the run while going to work.”
On the menu are Mexico City favorites like “Pambazos” and “Gorditas,” hand made from masa
and “Huaraches Azeteca” along with a variety of hamburgers and vegie burgers just to please everyone
They purchase chilies direct from Mexico City
“The chilies we get from LA and locally are not the same,” Armando said
“They don’t taste the same or even smell exactly the same.” You know when you get authentic cuisine
there are foods that you won’t find somewhere else
(Full disclosure: I grew up in Chicago where the pizza and Jewish deli food is amazing
I never find it exactly the same anywhere else
More: Bread rising in popularity during COVID-19 blues
locationThe trio spent five years in researching their restaurant venture
considering locations such as Palm Desert and Palm Springs
because “DHS was in desperate need for good restaurants,” Cesar said
“You can find Tex-Mex and California-Mex
but no authentic Mexican food” with a Mexico City flair
The location is on Pierson Boulevard at the former iconic Sidewinder restaurant
which dates back to the early 1970’s. Renting with an option to buy
they completely gutted the interior and the kitchen from floor to ceiling
“There was always something else to come along
like a need for more tables,” Angelica said
“They didn’t just throw money at us,” Cesar said
but they were behind us.” Another reason the restaurant could not fail
Cesar confessed to a “passion for mixology,” which comes partly from his father
who retired from bartending in Palm Springs
Cesar makes syrups from fresh fruit for his blended cocktails
He is also known for burning a twist of Rosemary for a sweet and soothing odor in the air.
He uses fruits and plants from specific to regions of Mexico to flavor his cocktails
loves the food and swears by a cocktail called a Desert Sunset
“It’s amazing,” she said
and even when we’re home we think about the restaurant,” Cesar said
“We even dream about it at night.”

Empanadas are a staple in every Latin American or Caribbean household
Typically made by folding a circular dough into a half moon shape
empanadas are a fried delicacy stuffed with a variety of fillings
empanadas can be a sensory-filled snack experience or a full meal
Every community has its own version of an empanada
and here in Central New York it’s no different
Syracuse offers traditional and innovative ways to consume this savory dish
We recommend the following three spots to satisfy your empanada cravings
Francisco Rodríguez and Carlie Morales have been serving the Syracuse community at Las Delicias for over 25 years
For this Dominican and Puerto Rican couple
They merged their own cultural backgrounds with American culture to offer a variety of empanadas
“Food is a world of innovation,” Morales said
“We’ve gone the extra mile to make our empanadas unique
we have cooks that are Dominican and Cuban
We’re putting these three cultures together to do what we do best– make good food.”
We tried the cinnamon and apple empanada ($5)
along with their new Philly cheese steak empanada ($3.75)
Pros: These empanadas were fried to perfection
golden color and every bite provided a pleasant crunch
Las Delicias’ name is pressed onto the border of the empanada
Cons: Although the crust of the empanada was incredible
I wish there was a bit more flavor in the Philly cheese steak empanada
but lacked the taste of spices that meat usually has
Las Delicias is located at 550 Westcott St
They are open Tuesday through Saturday from 11 a.m
Branded as “empanadas on wheels,” the Puerto Rican food truck Callé Tropical frequents places like Rockwest Center and Upstate Cancer Research. Customers can check the Street Food Finder app to see where they’re parked for the day
Odalys Negrón and her husband Nelson Negrón-Viñales prepare over 200 empanadas each time they go out
Their food truck allows them to move around and be flexible in reaching the community
“I found that getting our food out to the customers rather than waiting for them to come is key,” Negrón-Viñales said
We tried their beef and cheese empanada ($5) and a lobster empanada ($6)
Pros: These empanadas were thoroughly stuffed
with equal amounts of beef and lobster throughout
The lobster empanada had cheese which I didn’t expect
Cons: The size and filling of the empanadas were great
however I do wish the crust was a bit more crunchy
This dough was softer and although it was easy to bite into
Located on the Northside, Mi Casita Restaurant blends several Latin American cultures with food from Cuba
The restaurant has been open since April 2017
hoping to create a space where she could share Latin cuisine with Syracuse
along with the chicken and cheese empanada
Pros: These empanadas had the most authentic taste
They tasted exactly like the empanadas I got back in Puerto Rico
a perfect sweet balance to the warm empanadas
Cons: The empanadas’ crust was a bit pale to my liking
Mi Casita Restaurant is located at 1614 Lodi St.
They are open from Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m
