ADELITA & BASILO, THE STORY OF LA HACIENDA.

Adelita & Basilo have 15 children, they love them all but their favourites are the twins Chico & Demitrio.

Adelita is a wonderful wife & also an excellent cook, her husband Basilo is an artisan who loves & is devoted to his wife.

In their small hacienda there is no television, nor radio, not much time for watching or listening. They rely on their 15 children for news, local gossip & the running of errands.

Adelita is the most wonderful cook & here at La Hacienda we have created dishes straight from Adelita's recipe book.

The decor created to pay homage to their small hacienda back in Santiago Papasquiaro in the Mexican province of Durango.

We hope that you will enjoy some of Adelita's favourite dishes or "EL Alimento Del Amor" as Adelita & Basilo called her recipes.

Well after having 15 children the food certainly seemed to work.

Although we cannot guarantee that you will have 15 children, we can guarantee that every dish is created with passion, the freshest ingredients & will be just as delicious as Adelita cooks back in

Santiago Papasquiaro.

So please, we invite you to "Disfruta la comida" or "Buen provecho" as Adelita will be saying to Chico, Dimitrio & their 13 brothers & sisters this time in Mexico.
