    It's a really really exciting time in the Philadelphia area. The Eagles kicked butt on Monday Night Football, The Phillies take on the NY Yankees in the World Series & Halloween is Saturday. So much to do & think about, but in all the craziness, don't forget about your local independent restaurant. We're still here to serve you & we at The Tortilla Press have added some really neat feature to help you enjoy the upcoming week.

    We have a great deal on wings, our famous honey cholula wings & traditional buffalo wings plus our new really spicy wings for $8 1 dz, 2dz $15 3dz $21 & 4 dz $26. They are the perfect snack food during any game. Also our FAB Burrito would be a great centerpiece for any sporting get together. It's a 5# monster as big as a baby. If you haven't checked it out watch our burrito video on youtube

    Our special Halloween treat for parents is bring your kids in for dinner this week Monday thru Friday & kids eat off our kids menu for $1.99 with an adult entree.

    Also, Tuesday is "Date Night" 3 courses + a half picture of Virgin Margaritas for $38/ couple & Wednesday is Here's the Beef Night with 8 oz filet mignon for $15.95 includes 2 sides & a salad. So make sure you stop in either or both nights for some of the best value dining in South Jersey.

    Next week date night will premier our Paella dinner for two, the recipe is almost complete & we're sure you'll be impressed with our take on the Spanish Classic dish. Also make plans for our upcoming Off the Hook promotion Nov 16th thru Nov 19th which will feature 4 course $30 of some of your favorite seafood dishes.
