Oklahoma City KEY - Concierge of the Month

Jaime Acevedo
LaLuna Mexican Café

PROFILE: Jaime was born in Leon Mexico. While working in a hotel, he had the opportunity to train with American Express Card Services in Los Angeles eight years ago. He liked the states so much he stayed. He moved from LA seven years ago and has been working at LaLuna for the last seven years. In his spare time, Jamie plays competitive indoor soccer with team “Azul”.

Favorite Restaurant: “Of course, for Mexican food it’s LaLuna – and have believed in our food for the last seven years. My personal favorite dish is fajitas. I’ve tried them everywhere – and ours are the best fajitas in town.”

WHAT TO DO IN OKC: “When visitors ask what to see, I always send them to Bricktown. The area is developing quickly and offers a full day of activities. It’s the perfect place for ‘people watching’. Visitors can enjoy great shopping and sightseeing at Bass Pro, a movie at the 16-screen Harkins Theatre, and a Water Taxi cruise on the canal. This time of year I always suggest they take time to see our minor league baseball team, the Redhawks, at the SBC Bricktown Ballpark.”

MUST SEE: “If you’re only in town for one day, a “must see” is the Oklahoma City National Memorial. The monument, that has been erected to honor the lives of those lost there, is a sobering place to visit. The site includes a memorial for the victims of the April 1995 bombing of the Murrah Building and a museum that tells the story beginning on April 19, 1995, continuing to present day. The museum offers a totally different view of the tragedy than what most people experienced watching the television news accounts. While planning your visit, I would suggest you allow at least one and one-half hours for the museum and plenty of time to experience the outdoor symbolic memorial. It is an eye opening
experience and well worth your time.”
