Getting word out + Getting lunch = Blog Post

this post was ORIGINALLY written on February 4, 2010...

So, I’m really excited at how things are coming together for our Black Business Festival. We have some great speakers and really fun activities that I’m sure everyone will love. I drafted a “participation proposal” today for a potential Motown Ballroom instructor to come out and teach a one-hour class for our attendees. Yes, we will be dancing : ). Keep your fingers crossed for me for positive results...

NOW...ON TO A RESTAURANT REVIEW!!

Let me tell you guys about this great Mexican restaurant we visited for lunch. In Hamtramck, a “little-big” city located within the City of Detroit, there is this great, quaint restaurant named “Maria’s Comida.” Everyone in the office SWEARS by their $.99 taco specials on Tuesdays and Thursdays so I decided to join them...

And am I glad I did...The food was delicious!!

I started with the chips with salsa and queso. Not every restaurant has good salsa, but this one does. The queso was so cheesy and creamy. *Wiping corners of mouth to avoid dribble* After the chips with salsa and queso, I had an order of their jalapeno poppers. I will say this--the first time I had them, they weren’t so bad. This time......THEY WERE HOT! However, the homemade Lime Cilantro Cream Cheese filling made the pain sweet and bearable. 

And then the taco’s came...

Definitely worth every cent. Fresh ingredients and delicious seasonings made it a great taco. The taco sauce was the perfect way to “doctor up” my tacos.

Five stars (as my dear friend Gilbert would say). : )

Moral of today’s story: Go to Hamtramck. Great culture, great food, cool town. Visit Maria’s Comida and come back and tell me how you liked it.
