Margaritas of Methuen MA

My brother and I planned going to see a movie but wanted to eat before going to it. Since the two nearby restaurants were very busy with long waiting times, we decided on Margaritas. It had no waiting time plus one could get movie tickets at a reduced price.



Here is the menu Margaritas. There were a lot to chose from. The menu was glossy and clean. The kept the tables and chairs clean. It was a nice place to eat. We determined to eat there the next time we were going to a movie there. 

When we arrived, he asked if we wanted chips and dip. We did. It was really good. The salsa / dip had a nice bite to it. The chips were crunchy. They were not stale. It went well with the dip / salsa. We had at least a couple of servings of it. 
I had the chicken chimchanga. It was really good. It came with beans and rice. It was really good. It was quite filling. I took some of it home and enjoyed the rest of it the next day. It reheated quite nicely.

My brother got the Mexican Flag dish. It was three different burritos. He really enjoyed it. I had a photo of it but I can not find it. There was nothing left of it. 

The atmosphere was really nice. One can see my brother in this photo. One can not really see the decor. One does not see the chairs. They look carved and feel really nice. 







Its Greek To Me Soup? Greek Style Egg Lemon Soup

I was at the local grocery store and came across this soup. I think it has a funny name; The Original Its Greek To Me. The soup flavor was interesting; Greek Style Egg Lemon Soup. 

The local grocery store was Market Basket. It seems each area has different local grocery stores and some that are more common. 

I found their web site but it comes up with a pharmacy site. Since the page shows one thing in a search but another when you click on it, I won't show the link.

There is a Facebook page for It's Greek To Me Foods.

I opened it up and poured it in a microwave safe container. I heated it in the microwave - per the instructions. 

Once I took it out of the microwave, I waited a little bit then consumed it. It was easy to heat up. I did not try the other methods of cooking it. It is just easier to put it in the microwave. 

I had it with some crackers. I tried it before adding crackers and after. It tasted pretty good. 

There was another flavor and I will be trying that out in the future. I like trying different things.






Me at home.


Banyan of Boston MA

While my brother and my friend went to a wine and food festival (I tried to buy tickets but was too late), I went to a nearby restaurant. I found Banyan. It was really busy but I was able to get a seat near the kitchen, which was quite visible from the eating area. It was neat since I could watch them prepare and cook the food. The restaurant and the festival was in Boston MA

The wine and food festival was on 03/03/2018. I will try to get tickets for next years one before they are sold out. It sold out really quickly.

I like the name since it is simple and easy to remember. 

I ordered the Chinese creamed spinach. It was warm and delicious. I really enjoyed it. It was really good on the bread. It reminded me of nand bread from an Indian restaurant. It was not too big.

Some places are way too big. One would eat it but not have room for the entree. I think it should be small in that it 'whets' the appetite. Some places just makes it too big. It is one of my pet peeves.
I ordered the Kung Pao Shrimp. It was delicious. I liked it It was so big that it made me feel stuffed. It had just the right amount of rice. I liked how it had some vegetables with it.
This is the green tea cheesecake. It was just the right size for desert. It was really good. I really enjoyed it. 


This is the view I had of the cooking area. It can be seen from the eating area. It does not show anyone in it but there was at least a couple of people there preparing and cooking food. I was also near where the waiters got the food and took it to the customers / patrons. 
This is me at the restaurant. I am glad I went there. I can understand why it is so busy. It is very popular with people. It wasn't a huge place but there was a lot of seating. I used the restroom before eating and it was nice and clean. 
I had a diet Coke. I don't drink alcohol. It would be nice if restaurants had other diet soda choices than just cola (being a diabetic, I try to limit my sugar intake and most regular soda has a lot of sugar in it). 

Here is the outside of the restaurant. I was looking around for a place to eat while waiting for my brother and our friend. I did not see much in the area but I did notice the above. It looked interesting. I read the menu on the outside. The food choices looks interesting.
