These are the stories happening in Downtown Hanover 💙

Stop by Salinas Restaurant to support a local business while grabbing some delicious food!

Baby boy made his BIG entrance today! 💙👶🏽🥹

After an emergency C-section, we’re incredibly grateful to our amazing doctors and nurses, who acted quickly and took such great care of us during a difficult delivery. Thanks to them, we’re both healthy and recovering well. 🙏🏽

We also want to let you know that the restaurant will remain OPEN as usual! ❤️ Hubby will keep things running while I recover. While he’d love to stay home and take more care of me the restaurant is our family’s main source of income, and now that we have two boys, we’re more motivated than ever to keep creating a space filled with good food, a welcoming atmosphere, and lots of love. We want to build something meaningful for our family and set a good example for our boys. 💙👶🏽👦🏽

Thank you for supporting our little family and business 🫶🏽
