Margarita's, East Coast Road

I cant believe I almost forgot to blog about this place..thought i wrote about it alr. one of my fav cuisines in the world, besides Italian and Japanese - Mexican! Tucked away cosily next to Al Forno is Margarita's, a favorite restaurant of mine when it comes to Mexican food. those who stay at east coast are really lucky..so much good food! they have another branch at faber drive. another mexican place that is alright is cafe iguana at riverside point.. but Margarita's wins hands-down.

For starters they serve you tacos and salsa, before you place your order.

Went there with Daniel and I ordered beef enchiladas ($18.90). knowing him, anything with tequila lime as seasoning is enough to get him gushing. we were sharing so i actually wanted to try the fajitas ($18.90-$23.90) as well. but he ordered chicken with tequila lime (true enough) [$20.90 if i'm not wrong] instead. we ended up being envious of the europeans at the next table who were enjoying their fajitas =(

but anw the enchiladas were really good. minced beef was gorgeous and i would describe the sauce that accompanied it as v good pasta sauce...haha. it looks quite messy but the taste is definitely not messed up. they added avocado to it, which really upped the standard.. i really love avocado man..soft and undescribable taste-wise..gotta try for urself.

the chicken was just alrite..couldnt really taste the tequila lime. but the gravy was thick and very appetizing. the chicken had a very nice bbq smell to it, really whets ur appetite. again, pls excuse the pics. i must learn to curb my hunger to rem to take pictures first next time.

both dishes came with mexican rice, re-fried beans and salad. i really love the rice. so much flavor in every spoon. the beans are typical mexican food.. not many ppl will like it though..taste is quite distinct..but i enjoyed them and the salad too.

finally, what is Margarita's without a margarita? lovely lime margarita ($10) on the rocks that we had (shared with daniel cuz i drove)..salt on the rim. mmm..let the pics speak for themselves ;)
