For that after-hours life, it\u2019s where you want to be. While they cater to families, of course, depending on when you go, the clientele tend to transform into the who\u2019s who of Hailey. A rolicking good time, and fantastic, elevated Tex-Mex food done right.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">Stephanie Aguayo has been one of the prime faces of the evening scene at La Cab\u2013Mint for over two years. A quick, friendly hostess, server and all-around righteous young lady, you\u2019ll definitely see and have a chance to chat with her.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">Born in Wood River Valley and currently attending Wood River High School, Aguayo loves friends. \u201cMy favorite things to do are to be with my friends in Sun Valley and just go hang out with people,\u201d she said. A junior at Wood River, she has plans to add to the economy as a nurse or<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>possibly a dentist. Health, help and service reveal a kind heart and practical focus.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">Aguayo has two Chihuahuas named Ghost and Berry, who help rule her life. Her love of dogs is unmatched.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">Having lived here for the past 20 years, Aguayo has seen Hailey change and welcomes it while still loving the aesthetic we all adore. \u201cI like how it\u2019s growing,\u201d she said. \u201cI feel like in a couple of years we\u2019re going to be a much bigger town, but I really like the peace that there is here, not so much danger, and you just feel really comfortable here and you get to know everybody.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">La Caba\u00f1ita at The Mint is your destination if you like night life. The food is precise and excellent. Aguayo recommends the carnitas or the mango habanero wings for a starter. The menu is full of wonderful dishes you can only get there.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">Stop by and say hi to Aguayo, grab a drink and enjoy the buzz of genuine nightlife and revelry.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BY ISAIAH FRIZZELL The Mint has lore.
