Amber and I met a friend at Fajita Grill, on Main St. in Westbrook, for dinner and margaritas last night. Having never eaten there before, we did not know what we were in for, but Amber had heard good things from some of her teacher friends who live over that way. We arrived first and each ordered a frozen margarita. We had seen the large glasses on a few other tables and figured that they were probably pretty stingy with the tequila to make them that big for $5. We were quite mistaken. These suckers seriously must have had a triple, or at least a double, of tequila in them. They were incredibly strong (not to the point of not tasting good, of course, but strong). 

Amber and I each ordered one of the various combo meals that they have. All 25 or so of the combos run about $7 and include various combinations of such staples as tacos, burritos, enchiladas, and chimichangas. Our friend ordered a California burrito that was so named because it was nearly the size of said state (well, at least that’s my reasoning behind the name). It was a $10 dish, but it was enormous. We received the obligatory basket of warm corn chips and salsa while we waited for our meals to arrive. If you go, ask for the house green salsa. It’s got a nice kick to it (the red salsa was a little mild in my opinion). 

The meals were fine, but did not really stand out for either of us. The tequila overload probably didn’t help that any. I finished my meal and was comfortably full; Amber had to take home about half of hers. Surprisingly, she still had room for dessert, so an order of sopapillas (friend dough drizzled with honey and sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar) was requested. We all ate some of this $5 dessert and concluded that it, like the rest of the food, was adequate but unremarkable. All in all, the margaritas were the highlight of the meal. If you like tequila and can find a sober driver, I highly recommend heading down to 857 Main St. in Westbrook. Just don’t say I didn’t warn you.
