Cinco de Mayo is right arougnd the corner. If you’re anything like me, you’re probably starting to crave a little Tex-mex and some good company. But where should you go?
You could always get a sitter and head out to a fancy restaurant for a night of white tablecloths, soft music and adult company, but then you’ve got to pay the sitter and have your phone on the whole time while you worry about the kids. It’s also not really in the spirit of the thing. Cinco de Mayo is a boisterous holiday, and most definitely a family affair.
Why not grab the kids, save the cost of the sitter and head for Chili’s? Honestly, it’s one of our favorite places. The kids can go nuts on the Pepper Pal Kid’s Menu, and the adults can go for something more adult with a bit more kick. (My wife and me usually skip entrees altogether in favor of the Southwest eggrolls and artichoke dip. There can never be enough artichoke dip… Mmmm)
While you’re there, be sure to try the all new CoronaRita at Chili’s, It would be a perfect match to those Southwest Eggrolls and it just sounds darned good! Seriouly, what can beat a margarita that comes to the table drinking its own tiny Coronita? It’s genious.
So now that I’ve saved you the cost of a sitter and handed you a great drink, let me sweeten the pot. My friends at Chili’s and Izea want to offer one of you a $25 Chili’s gift card. That’s the cost of dinner for the kids, so now you aren’t paying for a sitter and the little one’s get to enjoy dinner for free. I call that a win-win.
All you have to do is leave a comment here telling us what you would order to go along with your CaronaRita. (You must leave a valid email to enter, but don’t worry, we don’t share or give your email to anyone. Ever.) Also, be sure to check the official rules (Contest closed) for complete details.
Because we love you and because we want you to be safe, here’s the official disclaimer:
**You must be 21 years or older to drink alcoholic beverages and as always, please remember to drink responsibly**
Come on, What would you order at Chili’s to go with this gorgeous drink? Are you a southwest eggroll lover like we are, or does your Chili’s experience start with something else? I’m dying to know your choices.
