I went to Macayo’s Depot Cantina yesterday after taking Kaitlyn to see “Lilly and the Plastic Purple Purse” at Childsplay (which was wonderful) with a friend and her daughters and I HAVE to tell you how awesome this deal is. I just got off the phone with the manager at the Scottsdale location who said this really was ok to do!

First, click here to get to Local Dinesand look for Macayo’s. You’ll spend $15 to get a $30 gift certificate.

Then order off the 65th Anniversary Menu. Kids meals are $1.65 (usually $4.69), chimis are $6.50 (usually $10.59), refillable margarita glasses (they’re huge and cute) are $6.50 (usually $9.99), and margarita refills are $1.65 (usually $3.99). So here’s a scenario for you:

Family of four goes to Macayo’s for dinner with their Local Dines gift certificate.

Orders 2 chimis (choice of shredded beef, savory chicken, or flavorful carnitas covered in a zesty relleno sauce and sour cream. Served with rice or beans).

Orders 2 kids meals (each comes with an entree, side item, and drink and there are some very yummy choices).

Orders 2 refillable margarita glasses (marg not included) and 2 margarita mug fills.

Your meal will come with delicious chips and salsa and you all will be stuffed (do your exercises that day). Plus you’ll get to take home the awesome margarita glasses pictured above.

Your total bill will be…get this…$32.60 plus tax and tip. But since you have your Local Dines gift certificate, you really only spent $17.60 plus tax and tip (of course tip on the full amount). This is for a meal that usually would have cost you $58.52 plus tax and tip. So you save $40.92!!!!

Enjoy and hurry to get your certificate…I’ll bet they’ll go FAST!
