Quick Meals that Won't Break the Bank (and Margaritas, too!)

October 16, 2017 in Family Fun, Patio, Quick and Easy, To-Go, Game Day/Night

I am just loving these fast, casual restaurants that are popping up all over. Busy moms and families need quick meals that won't break the bank, but eating at Mickey D's and other fast food joints is no way to raise a healthy child. Preston Village's newest edition, Cinco Taco Bar, is the perfect fast, casual restaurant to take your family after soccer practice, or dance lessons, or band camp, or whatever your child is into these days.

The Shrimp Tacos were quite tasty. Just beware, there is not much shrimp in the tacos! The Pineapple Tacos, on the other hand, had lots of meat. My 7 year old said it was the best taco he ever had. I really wanted the like the Chips and Salsa, but the chips were too thick and not warm. I liked the red ones a little better because they were thinner and they had some spicy seasoning on them.

The Iced Tea was on the weak side; perhaps it hadn't been brewed long enough. The Margaritas were awesome! I will be coming back for more. I wish my husband had been there so I could have had another. I'm sure he'll be happy to check out the place; there's plenty of sports on the TVs for him. See you soon, Cinco Taco!

In the heart of Deep Ellum, you will find Independent Bar & Kitchen in a rustic old building with exposed brick walls on the inside - something I would expect to see in more historic cities like Boston. It was a nice, warm touch that reminded me of my New England roots.

Brunch

Like most families, we enjoyed a Mother's Day Brunch this past Sunday. We chose Mash'd cause they were one of the few places that could accommodate 13 people on a busy holiday. And I was quite pleased they gave us two servers to help move service along. It also kept those mimosas flowing which is kind of important on Mother's Day!

While not the best place to bring the kiddos, I'll definitely be coming back for date nite or sneaking away for a date lunch or two. The adult cocktails were light and refreshing while maintaining their boozy element. We all agreed the food was fabulous. Everyone's fish was fresh and cooked to perfection. There's not many places that can make lobster rolls taste as good as theirs did - especially way down here in the middle of Texas! But TJ's did and I'd have to say their lobster roll even rivaled some of those made in New England. I should know
