The decor is simple but fun. Their motto is "Kinda-Sorta-Mexican-ish..." which I love! They have a great menu filled with options for burritos, tacos, salads, nachos, and fajitas. Josh got a burrito with steak and chicken:
I (of course ;)) got a big ole salad with black beans and LOADS of veggies and amazing salsa:
They even have coca cola from Mexico in glass bottles (the recipe is a bit different). Our friend got one:
The food was very FRESH and not greasy. The salsas were awesome- especially the black bean and corn. We like this place better than Moe's and it comes CLOSE to chipotle status. We will definitely be back.
Today, I got up early to teach my Saturday AM Body Step (which was more packed than usual today- hooray!). Afterwards, I went grocery shopping, ate some lunch, and then Josh and I went out to get our tree and a few other Christmas necessities. We stopped at Starbucks on the way and I got my usual (favorite) grande skim misto with three pumps of pumpkin spice:
We came home and got the tree up (but not decorated yet) and decorated the outside of our house. Here is our undecorated tree:
Now its time for some choreography switching and then I'm off to our Group Fitness Holiday party. Let me know what you're up to ;)

Yea for your tree! We put ours up the other night. Love your salad! Glad you had fun. I went to a blogging brunch today, it was tons of fun. We have another holiday party tonight. Busy busy!
mm, I went to starbucks after work today and got a nonfat afe latte with pumpkin spice. It was good! I wonder if skim misto is the same?
Looks like a yummy dinner!
We got our tree today too, yay! It is also snowing here at the moment, so its definitely beginning to feel a lot like Christmas. :-)
Mexican food is probably my all time fav - I've recently be introduced to Chipotle and love it!
Looks like you had a full, busy Saturday - sometimes they are just the best kind. ;)
cant wait to hear the stories from the Group Fitness Holiday party...those things have a way of bringing out really drunken antics from coworkers LOL
Can't wait to see your decorated tree! :)
Fresh Mexican food is always a nice treat! Your salad looks awesome.
Looks like you picked out a great tree. Have fun decorating!
Well this will come to no surpise to you, but we got our tree today too! Honestly girl, it doesn't even phase me anymore how our lives are pretty much identitcal. I can't wait to hear what you had for dinner tonight! If it was snobby joes and sweet potato fries, then we pretty much were seperated at birth! :)
Glad you had a great day and hope tomorrow is just as wonderful!
Your tempting me with that pumpkin pie Starbucks syrup!! Can't wait to see after pictures of your tree!
We still need to get our tree up! It's not Christmas without a tree...and Christmas started in my mind many days ago! ;)
p.s. I just saw holly make a vegan chili and link back to you but the link is funky.
it looks great but i cant find it on your site...if you have a minute can you shoot me the linky love? thankx honey!
That salad looks fabulous--I'm really picky when it comes to salsa--my grandpa's homemade garden salsa is my fav.
Can't wait to see your decorated tree--make sure you send me a pic so that I can enter you into the Secret Santa giveaway! :-)
Salsa, guacomole, black beans - sounds wonderful :)
Have a nice sunday.
Hee hee. I was going to say, I think that place kind of looks like Chipotle!
Gringos sounds a lot like Tijuana Flats. I was so sad when the one here closed!
Your tree is beautiful!!! Ahhh I LOVE putting up the tree and decorating it...like a trip down memory lane. Now to hire someone to take it down... :-)
I want to try a SB Misto SO badly!
Can't wait to see the tree decorated! I love seeing the posts of everyone's trees up!! So festive!!!
I love the tree, can't wait to see it decorated.
I will have to try Gringos the next time I am in Charleston! I am a huge fan of southwestern grill style places. I love Moe's and the such : )
