Casa Tequila: Where Margaritas Take Center Stage

September 24, 2015 by

Aptly named Casa Tequila makes the margarita the star of the show every night at dinner. Fresh, frosty margs come in massive glass goblets, salt around the rim, and brimming with ice. The margaritas wash down authentic Mexican cuisine, the same stuff that launched Casa Tequila into local fame back in 1989.

Bite into the fajita burrito, stuffed with rice and beans, cheese, and either steak or chicken smothered in the house's signature sauce. On top, gooey cheese, burrito sauce, and tomatoes, onions, bell pepper, and sour cream create another tasty layer. You can also chow down on fish tacos, seafood enchiladas, or fully loaded ceviche. Regulars, however, would probably recommend the fajitas, served fresh from a sizzling skillet. They're filled with your choice of fixings: veggies, shrimp, chicken, or a combination of meats. For something lighter, opt for the fajita salad. It transforms the same ingredients into a greener option.

If You’re Hungry for Ribs, Go Whole Hog at Troy’s Bar-Be-Que

August 27, 2015 by

Housed in a humble red roadside shack along Federal Highway in Boynton Beach, it’s easy to miss Troy’s Bar-Be-Que, especially since it’s only open Thursdays through Saturdays. Moreover, the seating accommodations are a simple red picnic table and a handful of folding chairs lined up under the front patio.

It probably won’t impress you on first sight, but regulars attest that if you take one whiff of the ribs, sliced brisket, or chicken coming off the wood-fired smokers that Troy himself is watching, and you’ll know you’ve come to the right place! Yelp reviewers praise the pulled pork sandwich, tender slow-cooked ribs, sweet baked beans, and simmered collard greens.

Since seating is limited, most customers order takeout, but if you can, try to sit down under a nice shade tree and strike up a conversation with friendly strangers.

Get Wise to One of Boynton Beach’s Best Breakfasts at the Green Owl

August 6, 2015 by

The line that stretches outside of Boynton Beach's Green Owl on weekend mornings tells you all you need to know: this is one of the neighborhood’s favorite spots for breakfast and brunch! There’s nothing fancy about the space — it’s located in an unassuming strip mall, the dining room is a few simple tables and booths surrounding a counter, and the menu features straightforward diner fare, like eggs, bacon, hash browns, and pancakes.

So why is the Green Owl so popular? Many say it's due to the service. Regulars praise the staff at the Green Owl for their efficiency and enthusiasm. That commitment to service comes from the top, as you will notice when you spot owner Matthew McKnight working the kitchen and chatting with customers.

Insider tip: this place can get pretty busy for lunch, so to beat the crowds, stop by a bit later for lunch.

Bite Into Brick-Oven Pizza at Mamma Mia Italian Restaurant

July 30, 2015 by

It has been nearly 35 years since Mamma Mia Italian Restaurant first opened its doors, and during that time it has become synonymous with consistency, quality, and convenience. Tucked into a shopping plaza in between a deli and a cobbler, this family-owned Italian eatery in Boynton Beach is building its second generation of loyal customers. Mamma Mia has also made it a point to keep its kitchen staff largely unchanged over the years, and that continuity makes for a better and more reliable dining experience for everyone.

Pizza lovers embrace Mamma Mia for its array of New York-style, brick-oven-fired pizzas, in thin crust and Sicilian varieties. Specialty pizzas include the Four Seasons (ham, artichokes, mushroom, and pesto) and the Brooklyn Special (pepperoni, sausage, meatballs, bacon, peppers, and red onions). Aside from pizza, the menu features Italian-American fare classics like garlic rolls, chicken San Remo, and a decadent tiramisu.

Regulars say that the portions are generous, so be prepared to take home leftovers!

There’s Something Special About the Sorbet at TwentyTwenty Grille

June 25, 2015 by

It's not every day that you find a restaurant whose founders are on the front lines, but that's the case at TwentyTwenty Grille. Founded by a husband-wife pair of well-trained chefs, Ron and Rhonda Wiesheit, TwentyTwenty Grille has a slew of reviews that mention Chef Ron and Rhonda (who often seats guests) by name. Together, the duo created a menu that incorporates local ingredients into fresh, modern American fare.

Each meal consists of three courses, but it's what comes in between each course that has many Yelp reviewers talking. Chef Ron and his team craft sorbets to cleanse the palate from unusual ingredients. One customer recollects a concoction of kale, guava, and cumin; another notes that his sorbet contained bell pepper, butternut squash, and cilantro. They're the perfect way to transition from a first course like the duck tacos or pan-roasted diver scallops to the "middle" course, perhaps Vietnamese Chilean sea bass bun rieu or grilled New York strip steak. Save some room for the third course: dessert. Sticky toffee pudding cake and chocolate truffle torte are both on the menu.
