Selena Quintanilla Perez was easily one of the most influential voices in Tejano music and her fame has continued long since her tragic death in 1995. April 16, the birthday of the beloved singer, was named Selena Day by then-Gov. George W. Bush. Black Agave, the beloved Tex-Mex restaurant located at Mercer Boardwalk in Farmers Branch, will celebrate the life and legacy of Selena with La Flor Fest on Wednesday, April 16 from 5 to 10 p.m. as a part of its grand opening.
La Flor Fest takes its name from “Como la Flor,” Selena’s breakthrough 1992 single. Guests can practice their cumbia moves as a DJ spins music by Selena and her contemporaries.
Throughout the evening, the restaurant will offer a wide array of food and drink specials, all discounted to $2 each for the party. Included among the $2 specials are:
- House Margaritas
- House Wines
- Draft Beers
- High Noons
- Queso Blanco
- Street Elotes
- Nachos
Guests can also order from Black Agave’s ample entrée menu, which includes a perfect balance of Tex-Mex standards such as tacos, nachos, quesadillas and enchiladas blended with new favorites such as the Molcajete Mixto, featuring shrimp, beef tenderloin, chicken and chorizo. Tacos include smoked pork belly, chipotle shrimp, filet mignon carne asada and more. Enchilada lovers can enjoy tasty tortillas filled with chicken verde, smoked brisket, and even enmoladas with roasted chicken and a Oaxacan-style mole with plantains.
