Mel-O-Dee Cocktails — Restaurant in El Cerrito

Friday 1/17/2020 my mom stepdad and friend attended mel-o-dees I arrived 1st alone when I got there I ordered my friend and myself a margarita and opened a TAB I was by myself as I mentioned so my friend arrived and then my mom and stepdad arrived and they opened a tab so my mom bought us drinks as well.
