Margarita's

I first tried this place last year, at the recommendation of a friend. She's never steered me wrong.

So it was time for a return visit.  Parking here is still abysmal -- though there is a valet on Saturday nights -- but the aggravation is worth it.  My big disappointment of the evening -- the mariachis went on break just after we ordered our appetizer, and didn't return until we had finished our meal.

But the food!

Chips and a mild salsa were placed on our table quickly and replenished without our asking.  Sangria -- his was red, mine white -- was sweet and fruity.  Queso fundido was gooey and savory, though I would have liked a bit more chorizo in the mix. 

W each ordered the fajitas combo. Portions of steak, chicken and shrimp served on a bed of onions and peppers, more than enough meat and vegetables to fill the light, delicate flour tortillas that accompanied the dish.  On a separate plate  there were generous portions of rice, refried beans, pico de gallo, sour cream, and guacamole. 

Very tasty, very filling, and lots of leftovers to bring home.
