  • 6:00 - 10:00  Joe King Currasco, Tex Mex Night

    Enjoy a lively fun filled night with Joe King Currasco! Included is a Tex Mex Buffet.

    The Tex Mex Dinner Buffet includes the cover charge.

    Joe King will perform from 6:30 PM to 9:30 PM.

    Dinner is 190 pesos for members and 260 pesos for nonmembers.   

    Priority seating will be given to members & diners.   Reservations are requested.

    The Cover charge without dinner is 100 pesos.

    Joe King Carrasco is billed as Tex Mex music but he sounds like much more. It looks like we could be in for an interesting lively variety of Tex Mex Music.
     
    The mystical combination of Latino and Caribbean, with a little bit of Sam The Sham thrown in for a spicy flavor, has evolved into a style Joe has termed "tequila reggae". We should be hearing this when he plays Dia de Los Muertos, Hot Sun, and Hey Te Guacho Cucaracho.

    Joe has been involved in acting for many years but in 2009 he stepped into the roles of writer and director with the release of his first film "Rancho No Tengo". The soundtrack with the same name was released in 2008 and is certainly one of Joe's most versatile albums to date.

    Joe now lives in Puerto Vallarta Mexico full time. He says this lets him remain in his favorite state of mind as much as possible... that is a Mexican state of mind. He plays as much as he wants and spends much of his spare time writing music, attending advanced Spanish classes, and relentlessly searching for the perfect desolate beach to hang out with his dogs.
