Have you seen Iron Man 2?
If not, make sure you go and watch it. The movie was action filled and had me at the edge of my seat the whole time. I usually get sleepy or tired of sitting, but I surprisingly didn’t.
If you have seen the movie, what was your favorite part?
Alicia’s Mexican Grille

Talk about amazing Mexican Food! I had Alicia’s Mexican Grille the other day and it was awesome. I have been looking for a good Mexican restaurant for a while. It’s located at 26326 Northwest Freeway.
I had the Senor Burrito with no meat since I am vegetarian and it was delicious. All the veggies tasted fresh, there wasn’t too much cheese, and their salsa is not too spicy. My friend had the mushroom enchiladas which I tasted and they were great!
Overall our experience was really good! The staff was friendly and place seemed very clean. I highly recommend this place if you have not been before.
What are some other restaurants you recommend?
