Taco Mama in Auburn, ALI recently visited Taco Mama and had a very positive experience. The food, service and atmosphere was amazing, and I particularly enjoyed the steak quesadilla and the funky way the establishment was decorated. The staff was friendly and efficient, and the overall vibe was upbeat. The menu offered a variety of Mexican-inspired dishes such as tacos, burritos, quesadillas and the chips came out warm and fresh.  I would highly recommend this restaurant. #TacoMama #FoodieFinds #FlavorfulEats #LocalCuisineFor more information and pictures please visit my website.

What Is a Non-arm’s Length Transaction?Learn the differences between arm's length and non-arm's length real estate transactions. It's not merely about the exchange of property; there are nuances you must understand in order to navigate these waters wisely. Uncover more in this recent #GTK blog post. An arm’s length transaction in real estate takes place between an unrelated seller and buyer who each act willingly, independently, and in their own best interests.

“Moe’s Original BBQ in Auburn, AL was founded by Mike Fernandez, Ben Gilber, and Jeff Kennedy.  In 1988, Mike hooked up with Moses Day in Tuscaloosa and began learning to fire roast meats. When Moses fired up his backyard barrel pit, everyone in T-Town knew where to go. The boys were lucky to learn from Moses and his distinct style makes up Moe’s original flavor of BBQ.  Moe’s Original BBQ smokes all meats fresh daily. Unlike other BBQ joints, they don’t stop there. They prepare eight to ten Southern style side dishes and desserts everyday with recipes passed down for generations.Moe’s Original BBQ is a Southern soul food revival. They serve great food in an atmosphere that is relaxed, spontaneous, yet civilized….well, sometimes…” In my opinion, it is some of the best BBQ in Auburn.#Moe...
