Alianza Latino Americana is back in full force and reading to present “Corridos y Cantares II.”
Its first and most-successful presentation took place in 2012 and now this much-awaited follow-up song-and-dance musical production with a Mexican flavor is almost here.
Among the many performers will be Monterrey-native Héctor Hernández, who from an early age demonstrated an aptitude for music and singing. Although he studied to be an Aeronautical technician, his passion is music. Hence, that is why, as a teenager, he participated as a vocalist with the Harlandale High School’s mariachi group.

We’ve all heard about the “Seven wonders of the world,” and the seven wonders of the ancient world. And if they were to rate seven seafood restaurants among the eatery wonders of San Antonio, Rudy’s Seafood would be at the top of the list because that’s how good it is.
Even the very reasonably priced appetizing daily specials are a force to be reckoned with. Take the special that includes two choice large fish fillets, three nice sized shrimp, Cole slaw, zesty French fries and a Serrano pepper to make the dish even more enjoyable. Even the presentation looks exquisite.
