Cabana Grill Now Serving Breakfast – $25 GC Giveaway

June 11, 2015 By Anne

Cabana Grill in Mandarin is now serving breakfast! I love breakfast. It’s my favorite meal of the day. I could eat breakfast anytime. Combine Mexican flavors and breakfast and I’m in heaven.

Last week Cabana Grill invited me out to try their new breakfast items. We had their executive chef, Andrew Dismore there to demonstrate a few of the new dishes in person. He showed us the Huevos Rancheros Breakfast Plate as well as the Queso Fundido Breakfast Burrito. After the demonstration, several items were brought out to us to try. Of course I had to at least try them all! I only took a few bites of each item otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to eat for days! Everything was so good!

Here are the items I tried:

Migas Breakfast Taco ($1.99)- Scrambled eggs and pico de gallo with rich queso blanco and signature Salsa Fuego. Finished with a cheddar-jack cheese blend, gaucamole and crispy corn tortilla chips.

Queso Fundido Breakfast Burrito ($3.99) – Scrambled eggs with chorizo, queso blanco, grilled poblano chiles and onions, and topped with avoverde salsa and pico de gallo.

Dos Puercos Breakfast Burrito ($4.29) – Scrambled eggs with bacon and jalapeno sausage, topped with avo-verde salsa, pico de gallo and a cheddar-jack cheese blend.

Veggie Breakfast Burrito ($3.99) – Roasted salsa roja, gaucolmole, sour cream, a cheddar-jack cheese blend, black beans and freesh cilantro.

Steakhouse Burritto ($4.29) – Scrambled eggs with fajita steak, ancho-spiced potatoes, queso blanco and salsa fuego.

My top two favorites? The Steakhouse Burrito and the Dos Puercos Breakfast Burrito. I like to have some meat in my meals and both of these were quite tasty. Really everything was good. Nothing was too spicy. However they do has a salsa bar so you can more spice if that’s your thing.

Egg whites can be substituted upon request in all breakfast dishes.

There is a children’s menu as well! See all the menu items at www.facebook.com/thecabanagrill

There is only one Cabana Grill in the area. It’s located at 10422 San Jose Blvd. near the Courtyard Shopping Center and is now open from 6 am to 11 pm daily.

Tap ‘N’ Run Jacksonville: March 28

March 3, 2015 By Anne

Tap ‘N’ Run is coming to Jacksonville on March 28th at 2 pm.

Tap ‘N’ Run is a unique 4K run/walk where participants, many of whom are dressed up in costumes with the friends, receive beer at different stops during the race. Afterwards, we do fun costume contests and people receive a full beer.

At Tap ‘N’ Run, runners aren’t out to claim the title of Fastest Runner. They’re out to claim titles such as Best ‘Stache, Celebrity Look-A-Like, or Largest Squad. That’s because this 4K is a fun run in the truest sense: 21-and-over participants can run, walk, skip, or even potato-sack to the three beer stands set up along the course. They’re given a 5-ounce brew at each and another 12-ounce bottle at the finish line. After using their finisher’s medal to crack open that last beer (yes, it’s also a bottle opener), they can head to the afterparty in hopes of claiming one of those race-day superlatives. One of the most sought-after awards is Most Unique Team Concept, as everyone’s invited to dress up in costumes that at previous races have ranged from superheroes to ice-cream cones to runners running a race.
