Abuelita’s Giving Away Food After Winning CBS6 College Basketball Contest

Great news for my favorite Mexican restaurant in the area. Details from CBS6.

Baylor’s win meant Abuelita’s won the CBS 6 We’re Open Tournament, sponsored by Maebird Marketing. CBS 6 randomly paired 16 Richmond-area restaurants with the teams playing in the Sweet 16. As each team won on the basketball court, the restaurant advanced.

Prior to the Final Four, Abuelita’s owner Karina Benavides said if Baylor won, she’d use the $1,500 grand prize to thank loyal customers who’ve helped the restaurant stay open during the pandemic.

“It’s just been fun. I love interacting with people on social media. I think this is a really fun activity for Richmond, especially for the restaurants,” she said in an interview with CBS 6 earlier this month. “I’m very excited to give something back to our customers. And they’re helping us to do that.”

Follow Abuelita’s on Instagram to see the rest of the deals this week. Thursday is looking pretty good as they’re upgrading chicos to grandes.
