Hilton Head Island, SC
Today’s foodie adventure takes us to a lovely beach town
on Hilton Head Island. We ventured
inland a bit to a little Mexican place that touts a whopping 4.5 star review on
yelp.com and a 92% approval rate on urbanspoon.
I’d say that’s well worth a visit, right?
It was just after 1:00pm on a Friday afternoon and this
place was pretty packed. The dining room
was almost completely full and there was a pretty long line of to-go
orders. This little restaurant has
simple décor, super friendly staff, and tasty cheap eats (maybe not really cheap, but very reasonably priced).
We decided to order one of the specials of the day, the
Albino Burrito. It comes with special seasoned
pork, rice, beans, and is covered in delicious cheesey sauce. The hefty burrito, medium drink, and a little
pile of chips with a trip to the salsa bar cost a little over $8, a good deal
for such a filling meal. The burrito was
stuffed full of tender, juicy pork, and was really filling. A word of caution to those who are sensitive
to salty: the cheese sauce is just a little on the salty side.
Mmm... look at that oooey gooey goodness. =)
The chips were a thick, crispy, and not too
greasy - a good compliment to the salsa bar.
The second dish we tried was the Shrimp Fajitas. For just under $10, you get a plate full of
shrimp sautéed with onions and green peppers, a side of rice and refried beans
and 4 tortillas. I opted for the flour
but you can also get corn. The rice was
average, nothing amazing but still flavorful and soft. The beans
were also flavorful but just a touch watery.
And now for the shrimp. Mmm. You get 8 medium sized shrimp that are well
cooked and nicely seasoned. The flavor
was there but could have done with a little bit of a spicy kick.
It looks so pretty in the tortilla doesn't it? :)
Overall, How Nuts Are We about Fiesta Fresh Mexican Grill?
Food: 5 coconuts
Service: 3.5 coconuts (Since it was fast food style there wasn't much to really go off of but everyone was really nice!)
Repeatability: 5 coconuts
Fiesta Fresh was definitely a top Stuffed Foodie experience. The food was fresh, fast, tasty and is a good value. I really want to make my way back and try out that breakfast menu that I saw at the end of the counter too...
Until next time... ／人 ⌒ ‿‿ ⌒ 人＼
