👻 Put your kids in costumes and make sure you say the magic words for queso.

🎃 FRIDAY + SATURDAY: Kids in costume eat FREE with an adult entrée purchase. A rare financial contribution from someone who eats crayons.

🧀 Grown-ups, tell your server “BOO” for a FREE small queso for the table. You’ve spent years teaching them to use their words. Your turn.
