Cinco de Mayo Delicioso

I’m not of Mexican descent, but I do love me some Mexican food. And with Cinco de Mayo tomorrow, that just gives me another excuse to eat to all the Mexican food and drink all the margaritas I can possibly handle. Say I won’t.

My friends and I are going out to eat at a local Mexican restaurant, Vallarta’s. They serve  huge and super strong margaritas – original and strawberry. I think I’ll sample both athank you. And, they have a dish called ‘Molcajete’ – which is presented in a boiling hot stone bowl (almost like lava rock) and filled to the brim with steak, chicken, shrimp, peppers, onions, queso and mole sauce. It’s pretty much awesome. If you’ve seen it on a menu, but have never tried it, I strongly suggest you order it.

But, if you don’t feel like bothering with the festive crowds – which I can’t blame you – then I have some delicious Cinco de Mayo menu ideas for you to try.
