Soto says the concept of the restaurant is to offer fresh Italian food at a fast pace. With that in mind Soto and his team created what they call "Take and Bake" plates. The "Take and Bake" dishes come in a number of varieties like Baked Ziti and Cheesy Chicken Florentine.
The idea of the dishes were to give families something to take home and cook in the oven. Most dishes take less than 30 minutes to cook.
San Angelo Chamber of Commerce members attended the event including a number of the Chamber's Cadre, Vice President of the Convention & Visitors Bureau Diann Bayes, and President Walt Koenig.
"Great restaurants make a great community and you certainly are promoting that and developing that with us," said Koenig.
Mamma Changs is open Monday through Saturday 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and then 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. They are located at the corner of Van Buren and Freeland Ave.
