Celebrate Royal Oak Restaurant Week with Mesa Tacos and Tequila

Royal Oak Restaurant Week is back. 

Sponsored by OUR Credit Union, the event signals the return of 'Giving Back' from now through Sunday Oct. 29. More than 20 of downtown Royal Oak's top restaurants and venues will feature 3-course lunch and dinner menus from $15 - $35 a person. No tickets or passes are necessary, but reservations are strongly recommended.

Jenna Derrig, Mesa Tacos and Tequila's managing partner, stopped by the Fox2 Kitchen Saturday morning with some of her favorite meal recipes that will be on display all week. Joining her was Stephanie McIntyre, Royal Oak Restaurant Week Spokeswoman to preview the event.
