Cantina La Reina

cantina la reina, the restaurant where chris and i work, asked us to photograph the restaurant. chris has more experience doing food photography than i do, so chris took photos of some of the food and i took pictures of different parts of the restaurant. one of the owners is a set designer for movies in hollywood and has decked the place out in mexican...everything (old photographs, wanted posters, paintings, bull whips and lots of tequilla)! the restaurant is really cool we get lots of compliments about the decoration and everything about it, so there are a lot of interesting things to photograph. not only does the restaurant look good but the food is- AWESOME! the whole package! the building used to be a restaurant called media luna, it's a bright red 3 story building in the middle of isabel segundo. the first floor is the main dining area with only 9 tables, a bar and a smoking patio. the second floor has a bar, pool table and 3 small outdoor seating areas. the third floor is a beautiful rooftop terrace with a large lounge area. a great place to watch the sunset, hang out at night and look at the stars. it's one of the only 3 story buildings in town, so the view is great. i really really like the restaurant, i think it's really cool and other people seem to think so as well. chris and i actually got to hang out on the roof for the first time when xander was here and it was a great place to hang out and talk. its just a very cool place all around, and even when we are not working we still like to hang out there! :)

anyways, here are some of the photos that we took for the restaurant.
