People and crowds everywhere; it was worse than a weekend.

Sure, not good [...] Look at this luscious creature:
A pumpkin empanada.
It’s huge, tasty, and a great deal. You can meet its much smaller, anemic, sugar-coated cousin at Starbucks for $1.85 but come to Coronado’s for the real deal.Coronado’s Mexican Restaurant and Catering533 S.
