Mama's ??

thefishaholic - 8-11-2008 at 09:08 PM

Heading down to Cabo in a couple weeks and can any of you tell us about Mama's orphanage?

We just got a bunch of, baby to youngster, stuff and want to donate there or should we take it to Minerva for the Cabo orphanage?

Also where in Rosario can we get a Lobster dinner that rivals Don Eddies or the Old Mill (2 1/2 lb.). Had both before and they were great and good price.

Thanks

Mama Espinoza has a child care center a few feet from her home where she takes in small school age children during the school week who live too far out to make it to school. The center is staffed 24 hours a day during the school week and the kids are taken to school and picked them up every day. The restaurant and Mama’s knitted slipper sale fund the center. Mama also gives free beans rice and soap to the poor of El Rosario. While I was last visiting Mama several poor families came in for some of the free food she gives out. I am sure she will appreciate anything you give to her to give to the needy. As far as the Lobster served at Mama Espinoza Restaurant I have never eaten it but I hear it is a good meal. If you take the stuff to Mama tell her David says Hi when you see her!

your last three words answer your own question....sorry, you won't find either at mama's. not her fault, it's the next generations ruining, er, running the show.

what does the "next generation" at the restaurant mean for the school? Anyone know if it is still operating and needing things?

As far as I know Mama's daughter Rolly will be continuing Mama's legacy!
