Food & Drink Feature

Delia’s Mexican Grill | You have to try one of their Spicy 🌶 Margaritas! 😋

Also, arguably the best Mexican food in Columbia! (Mike’s opinion)

Did you know…Bananas are berries, but strawberries aren’t! Botanically, a berry must develop from a single flower’s ovary and have seeds inside the flesh—making bananas, cucumbers, and eggplants true berries, while strawberries don’t qualify.
