While we enjoy a good Shamrock Shake and the thrill of basketball tournament season, there’s a lot more happening in Batavia this March.
Introducing Chamber Eats!
The Batavia Chamber of Commerce is excited to launch Chamber Eats, a new program designed to highlight our local restaurant members and encourage the community to support them.
Each month, we will feature a different Chamber member restaurant. Diners can enter a drawing for $25 in Chamber Bucks and a $25 restaurant gift card by dropping a business card or contact information card in a marked box at the restaurant.
Our first featured restaurant from March 1-31 is Taco Dalé, located at 842 N. Randall Road in Batavia (in the Trader Joe’s shopping center). The restaurant is open daily at 10 a.m. and serves authentic Mexican cuisine for breakfast, lunch and dinner. If you haven’t tried their delicious food yet, this is a great opportunity. And you may even be the lucky prize winner!
Follow us on Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn for updates and stay tuned for next month’s featured restaurant.
Let’s eat!
