Por favor, correct Spanish please? (I know)
<name of restaurant> is open on Mondays.

I'm trying "...es abierto en los Lunes" but it doesn't look right.


Muchas gracias!

2. It should look like this
{name} está abierto los lunes. You do not need the /en/ or the capital L.

8. actually it was for gringos
planning to have a meeting at local real Mexican restaurant. Since many are closed on Mondays I checked and was letting the attendees know it was open. They probably wouldn't have noticed the bad grammar but I was pretty sure I could get it corrected quickly here.
