I have a high spicy tolerance and they brought out a special salsa, peppers and a sauce for me. Orders: El Gordo Special ($13.25): grilled shrimp, roasted red peppers, lettuce, avocado, rice. The shrimp was plump and grilled well. Chori Pollo ($13): grilled marinated chicken topped with cheese dip and Mexican sausage, served with rice, guacamole salad and tortillas. This was pretty good! The Mexican sausage paired well with the chicken. Chimichanga with beef ($4.25). The size and amount of meat? This was a steal. Less expensive than some frozen food options at Trader Joe's and Costco. Margarita, 12oz ($3.99). Not bad for the price. Beef street taco ($3.50). Okay, this is the one item I can compare to options in California and definitely had better there

Looking for Blondie's in St. Clair, we found this restaurant revamped with the name Scarlett's. As…read morethe story goes, a longtime bartender purchased from Blondie and kept most things the same but have hired a brother/sister duo that try to outdo each other in the kitchen with ideas such as a Mac and Cheese stuffed burger. We went in for burgers to go. We ordered a Big Texas burger with Fries($16) which is a half Lb. and an Build a burger (7oz.) with onion rings($10). While we were waiting, everyone was super attentive, and informative. For instance, I would've ordered a Bloody Mary while we waiting but their only mix was (ugh!) Zing Zang and when I mentioned this to the bartender, she said that she didn't like it either but that they were going to start brunch in a couple of weeks and they would offer a Bloody Mary bar with V-8 along with the other mix. Also on Wednesdays, they have $1 Wings. I thought the hamburgers were good, high quality meat but would've been better if they grilled the buns, especially if they buttered and grilled them. Would've taken it to a new level. The buns were kinda steamed by the time we got them home. I did like the way they packaged the veggies, folded away from the food. I did not care for the onion rings; beer battered and very greasy. I would prefer the Panko style breading but that is just a preference. We will go back. Service was great, food was real and menu has a lot of options, especially if they start brunch with a make your own Bloody Mary. The next time I'm in the mood for a burger or brunch, I'll definitely go back.

The food was great and the service was even better. Couldn't ask for a better lunch with friends.read more
