This week we went "South of the Border" to "On the Border"

I told you in the first blog we were going to be all over the map when it came to where we like to eat. Last week was fine dining this week it is a chain restaurant with low to mid pricing but it is truly one of our favs! As a matter of fact, I usually hit this one once a week, usually with Debmac because we can get a good buzz on and be filled with yummy chips & salsa for around $10. For those of you who know me, I have a $10 & under rule and when I can keep within that limit, it makes me very happy!

This week we took Miss Miss out for her birthday dinner. Her choice & a superb one at that I might add! Depending on whether you choose to drink or not you still can have a full tummy for the $10. We usually choose to drink. Monday thru Wednesday Margaritas are $3.25 and mugs of beer $2.00. All the chips & salsa you can eat for free. I am perfectly contenting getting 1 or 3 margaritas and chowing on chips. This time though, since we had a $25 gift card (Thanks Mom!) me, Miss Miss & Jero each got an appetizer which I don't think I have mentioned yet, are half price on Monday thru Wednesdays 5-7pm. The apps don't include the sampler app or guacamole but my personal fave is the steak quesadillas. I always bring some home with me, mostly because I have gorked on chips & salsa (by the way, they know me now where they bring me both the regular(hot) salsa & a bowl of the mild salsa so I can mix them!) For this special occasion Miss Miss had signed up for their "Cantina Club" which I recommend and promptly did when I got home and she had a coupon for a free brownie a la mode which we all shared. It said you needed to purchase an entree to receive the brownie but the bartender knows me so well he said that the 1/2 price app would qualify. Gotta love being a regular :) Their normal entrees are very reasonably priced too. Right now they are running an all you can eat enchilada special for $7.99. So if you drink water you can get out of there still for close to the $10. We each had 2 margaritas, total of 6, 3 half priced apps & the brownie dessert for a grand total of $45 including tip. We tipped a little extra because of the brownie but we were very close to the $10 each! We also go to the one at Northlake Mall and my 2 favorite bartenders/waiters are Chris & Daughtry (don't know his real name, he just looks like the Idol singer Daughtry!)

So to summarize, good buzz, good salsa, good night!
