We had ourselves a good ol' fashioned fiesta on Thursday at the Jack-N-Grill!
In one of those rare occasions everyone agreed that somehow we could all get to the restaurant early!!!

Excellent...more margaritas all around! And delicious margarita's they were. We just had the house specialty and they were good...an excellent recipe, not too sweet, not too sour and soaked through with tequila. I don't know if it was a mistake or not but my first round was served with a lemon wedge which really put a nice touch on the marg (my second glass came with a lime so who knows...)

Jack-N-Grill was Katie's pick and in perfect Mexican restaurant tradition their menu is large and extensive so it made choosing a tad difficult. Katie was almost bound to pick the same thing she always gets when she goes there but with enough goading she picked something different.
A treat!
I ordered the Stuffed Sopapilla Smothered and Deluxed...and it was awesome. In fact, that's how it made me feel before I even got through with half of it...stuffed!! But it was sooo good and just as yummy the next day for lunch!
I'm gonna have to let the other gals discuss their food cause, quite frankly...I was too busy with my own to be bothered by what was on their plates!

Now...a note...Jack-N-Grill is no in-and-out Mexican restaurant. It says so right on their menu...all their food is prepared to order...which in layman's terms you might have a bit of a wait. But worth every minute you get to spend enjoying another of their margaritas.

A la carte...few words of just-so-you-know:
It was raining the night we went and I was bummed because of the cute little covered patio in front of the restaurant, but after thinking about it a little bit, I would not want to sit and eat on their patio...it is about 10 feet total from Federal Blvd...I imagine it is very loud and dirty out there.
but the inside of the restaurant is very cute and festive, if just a tad small and crowded (cozy???) but the wait staff is friendly and warm.

Now...my opinion (everyone's got one right?) it takes a lot to screw up mexican food...it's pretty basic stuff, beans, chiles, cheese...how hard is that??? But I really liked Jack-N-Grill and would go again for sure.
I mean, c'mon...you gotta love a place that has Frito Pie on the menu, right???
