Burritos @ Mamacita
The Mamacita Mexican International restaurant and Bar at the Wyndham Resort at Denarau Island was abuzz on Christmas Day.
It saw a full house with tourists and locals, both adults and kids all tucked themselves into a buffet lunch.
There was a large spread of cold cuts and salad, soup, roast, mains and mouth-watering desserts.
It went very well with the entertainment performed by the special Pacific island show.
If you are looking for something similar then don’t miss out being at Mamacita as it will host the New Year’s Eve buffet dinner.
The night will have the Polynesian fire dance “meke show” with live band till late.
