Places to dine with the kids
These restaurants are delightful places to take the whole family to go out to eat. They each have their own specialty and can fill just about any craving.

Take the family out for Tex-Mex cuisine at Mariano’s. This spot was founded by Mariano Martinez, who created the frozen margarita machine. Mix a good margarita with family-friendly dining and everyone is satisfied.
