March 24, 2016 by

Crispy tortilla chips, freshly blended salsa, and an icy margarita kick off most meals at Dos Tequilas Grill. The chips and salsa arrive at each table free of charge, and the signature margaritas are worth a few of your hard-earned dollars. Pick from the Gold margarita, El Patron, or a frozen marg, and peruse the menu of Tex-Mex fare while a bartender whips it up for you.

If the chips and salsa aren't filling enough to offset your appetite, order a starter such as the crab quesadillas, the chicken nachos, or the fresh guacamole. Just make sure that you save enough room for Tex-Mex "specialites" like the seafood enchiladas, which feature crab meat, shrimp, and scallops, or the chimichangas filled with beef, chicken, seafood, veggies, or beans. Burritos, salads, and soups round out the menu at Dos Tequilas Grill in Leesburg.
