Missing the smell of fresh made tortillas and sweet pork barbacoa in Fairfax County? Not for long.

A top rated Mexican restaurant will be opening in the county later this month.

Café Rio Mexican Grill, which is currently located in Manassas and Falls Church, will be opening their newest location at 6003 Burke Center Parkway in Burke, Va., on May 30th.

“Joining the Burke community is an exciting honor for us,” states Bob Baker, President and CFO of Cafe Rio Mexican Grill. He went on to say, “We’ve received great support from our customers and the local community.”

The Burke location will bring the restaurant count to 50 total locations nationwide providing many job opportunities to its local markets.

May is National Water Safety Month, and according to the American Academy of Pediatrics, drowning is the leading cause of death among children under the age of 5.

To prevent drowning and promote safe water practices, the British Swim School in Montgomery County will be hosting a free public event.

The First Annual Water Safety Awareness Day will take place on Sunday, May 20 at Healthtrax Fitness & Wellness Center in Germantown, Md.

The event is geared to provide preventive steps to drowning, and other safe water practices in addition to promoting healthy and active lifestyles.

The day will have activities for kids including fire trucks, police cars, bouncy houses, face paintings, a free swim, and more!
