The weekend is quickly approaching and you're thinking about eating out. Check out some places you haven't been to before:
- Location/hours: 27 South Central Avenue; Daily, 11:30 a.m. to midnight
- Pricing: $16 to $25 for a meal
- Atmosphere: Casual, authentic Mexican style
- Why go: There’s a mariachi trio band that plays everything from traditional Mexican music to Pink Floyd! Plus you get free chips and salsa when you get there, plus a free cheesy tortilla appetizer, and a free crispy cinnamon dessert.
- My pick: I’m a sucker for a good chicken Chimichanga, and here is no different. Pair it up with a fresh made sangria and you’re good to go.

- Why go: Tasty food, lots of drink choices! The lunch buffets are a good choice if you are super hungry (only $10.95 on weekdays and $13.95 on weekends).
- My pick: Start with the garlic Naan or the vegetable samosa (or both), then go for the Tandoori Mixed Grill and don’t forget to use the yogurt sauce, it's scrumptious.
