In the Mixx with Noe G.

larger view

Hello, I’m back and ready to put you in the mixx for this month’s coolest spots to be and to be seen at. Last month, Rap Artist DJ Quick & Kurupt rolled through town, comedian and funny man Carlos Mencia did his thing at the Fox; La Raza guy Kid Frost showed love at the Nile; and the College Kid Asher Roth cruised through for a meet-and-greet with listeners of Hot 94.1FM; and the legendary King of Ranchera music, Vicente Fernandez sold out the Rabobank Arena.
This year’s MÁS Magazine’s Third annual Quinceañera Expo June 14 was a big success! A big thanks for everyone who helped and supported this event.
Is it me, or does this town seem to be drowning in clubs and DJs? lol! I heard even The Mint has VIP tables, that’s what I heard ... lol!
Well, keep reading and let’s find out what’s popping for the month of July. Let’s get “In the Mixx ...”

ON THE MENU
Let’s do some food real quick, ‘cause you know I love to eat. Remember, way back in the day, La Tapatia Restaurant in the alley off of Baker Street (the actual address is 617 Chico St. to be exact)? I went with some friends one day — and let me tell you, they have one of the best lunch buffets I’ve ever tried. So if you work or hang out anywhere near there, try them out. I promise you won’t be disappointed. Serving enchiladas, tapia fish fillet, real guacamole, grilled chicken and tacos de carnitas and lots more.
La Tapatia is open 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through Thursday; and 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., Friday and Saturday. For any questions or to call ahead, call 661-324-0015. Then e-mail me and give me your feedback!

SOME SERIOUS SALSA!
Calling out all the salsa dancers and people wanting to learn how to dance salsa, come and get free salsa lessons every second Wednesday of the month at Cabana Palms, 3001 Calloway Drive. Doors open at 7 p.m. with lessons until 8:30 p.m., then stick around for Noche De Rumba dance, drink and mingle as DJ Micky Rock spins all your favorite salsa, cumbias and merengue until last call! Remember, it’s 21 and over with ID. Also, VIP cabanas and tables are available. All night drink specials and a cool vibe, too. Come out and support Noche De Rumba, the playground for the grown folks. More info at 661-588-8888.

REPLAY FIESTA!
Recording artist from MTV’s “Makin’ The Band,” Donnie Klang (hey, that sorta rhymes!) will be at Replay Lounge, 4500 Buck Owens Blvd., Friday night, July 24 to hype the crowd up and also hosting the homie DJ Mike’s B-Day bash. This party is for the 21-and-over with ID, of course. Super DJs in the mixx with all the party jams. All night drink specials and Champagne bottles poppin’! Don’t miss this party! Show Donnie that Bakersfield love ...

Alright gente, keeping it short this month ... B-day shouts and late Happy Father’s Day to my pops Manuel Garcia. We miss you, dad, from the Garcia clan; B-day shouts to my bro Hime; the homegirl Lien, Happy B-Day; and shouts to everyone who reads MÁS Magazine! We love MÁS readers! Check out the Web site also at: masbakersfield.com. Have a fun and safe July! Stay cool, don’t drink and drive, peace out & don’t hate ... Noe G!
