Fresh Salsa Kicks Off Every Tex-Mex Feast at Dos Tequilas Grill

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.

Fresh Seafood Awaits at Blue Ridge Grill

January 28, 2016 by

Michael Norton and John Carroccio have worked at eateries right in Northern Virginia, as well as restaurants as far away as South America, so together they have an unusually broad snapshot of the globe's eclectic cuisines. At their joint endeavor Blue Ridge Grill, however, the pair focuses mostly on fresh American seafood and steaks served in a casual, welcoming environment.

One of the most popular creations at Blue Ridge Grill is the Shady Side crab cake. Chefs craft each crab cake from seasoned lump crab meat, then sear the crab cakes to create a crispy, golden-brown shell. Remoulade sauce comes with each crab cake for dunking, as well as a side of your choice. If you're more interested in the beef, then you should try the prime rib sandwich, which showcases slow-roasted meat stuffed inside of a Lyon Bakery baguette, smothered with au jus and Monterey Jack cheese. The Brentwood salad is another favorite among regular customers, and it features fried chicken, avocado, bacon, and cheese dressed with ranch.
