"Keep your eyes upon the road"

Perhaps the best Mexican restaurant in Oakland County is a little dive right off of Woodward called Margaritas. While it's called Margaritas, no alcohol is served, which makes for some angry customers who want some dang margaritas with their meal.

Anyhow, the Spanish translation for margaritas is "pearl" and I think that's a perfect name for this joint. I asked someone at our church if they'd been there and he couldn't place it even though he grew up within a couple of miles of the joint. It's a tiny little pearl...not much to look at from the outside. Especially considering its off of Woodward, which is lined with storefronts for 15 miles from Birmingham to Detroit.

We found Margaritas one night while house-hunting. Specifically, we'd visited the house we ended up buying and had asked the owner for some Mexican food recommendations. She pointed us in the right direction. We've only been there three or four times, but you get more bang for your buck at Margaritas than anywhere. For $14 dollars they bring out the biggest platter of fajitas I've ever laid eyes on. Rogers and I could easily eat two meals off of it. (However, since I have a "Leave no food behind" Army approach to eating I manage to stuff myself pretty good.) This stuffing is only aided by the chips and salsa, which aren't too shabby.

Why am I writing this at 1:30 a.m. when I have to get up for work in 6 hours and have a busy day?
1) I was up working anyway.
2) I haven't updated my blog much recently.
3) I might just be headed to Margarita's tomorrow...it's either that or Stuffed Crust pizza.

Happy Weekend, friends. May this weekend be car accident free and full of health and good meals for us all.
