Mama Lila’s Bistro is establishing a reputation as a go-to place for delicious Peruvian-fusion cuisine. The family-owned eatery is about to get an infusion of Hollywood glamour when baby sister Roberta Valderrama returns from Tinseltown to host the debut party for her hilarious new TBS sitcom, 10 Items or Less. The curly-locked scene stealer plays Yolanda, a spicy Latina who runs the produce department of a small-town grocery store in a series that is already winning comparisons to hit neo-sitcoms like The Office.
“It’s like the best job ever! The show is funny and irreverent, and has so much heart,” Valderrama raves. “Yolanda has been living in me forever. Growing up in Miami, I pulled from all of the Hispanic ladies I have grown up with, including my mother. Yolanda is a straight-talking dominant force who has a lot of sex appeal. She’s highly emotional but very smart.” Roberta’s three sisters couldn’t be more excited about her homecoming, and for tonight’s party they will be serving fabulous hors d’oeuvres. The party begins at 9:00 and will include live music by Bacon Bits after the show’s premiere. Admission to this family fiesta is free. Call 305-299-0144, or visit www.mamalilasbistro.com.
