giveaway: cabana grill be our guest gift cards

March 19, 2015      2 Comments

This is a sponsored post. Cabana Grill will be providing gift cards for use in a giveaway later this week. All opinions are my own.

Last night Mr PugRunner and little man were out on an adventure, so I was on my own for dinner. I decided to pay a visit to  Cabana Grill, a several-months-old Mexican inspired, fast casual restaurant, brought to us by the owners of Pollo Tropical.

Cabana Grill boasts fresh-pressed and grilled-to-order tortillas, grilled steak and chicken fajitas, quesadillas, nachos, tacos, bowls and burritos. They also offer a Salsa Bar, full of a variety of fresh salsas. Yum.

The restaurant is located on San Jose Boulevard, just north of the I295 exit. It’s a pretty hopping area, and I am glad that there is another dining option to break things up.

Cabana Grill is bright and airy, with an enclosed sunroom-style dining area, as well as a patio, in addition to the regular indoor space. Patrons walk up to the counter to order, then take a plastic table number with them to a table of their choice. Food is cooked to order and then brought to the table. I loved the colorful, oversized artwork and hanging globe lights.

I was a little overwhelmed by the menu, and ended up letting the employee at the counter make the choice for me. I went with a bowl served in a tortilla shell, and absolutely loved the digital, interactive menu while I ordered. It showed the different options for rice, protein and toppings, so I could pick along the way and double check that the order was correct.

Since I wasn’t super hungry, I skipped the sopapillas (they looked delicious) and decided on a water instead of a margarita (frozen or on the rocks) or bottled beer.

I found a table and got some salsa verde and pico de gallo from the Salsa Bar.

Dinner was ready quickly, and I was pleased that the rice, beans and chicken were all nice and piping hot (in temperature, not in spiciness). My bowl had sliced chicken breast, with Mexican rice, black beans, lettuce, cheese, tomatoes, sour cream and guacamole. I loved the marinade on the chicken, and the rice was very nicely flavored.

The flour tortilla was great with the pico de gallo, but the salsa verde wasn’t quite my favorite. It was spicy, but lacked that nice tomatillo flavor.

The employees were incredibly friendly and circulated around, tidying up as needed and taking empty bowls and plates from diners.

There was also a really cute setup outside, where kids were painting and decorating wooden picture frames as a craft as part of the Cabana Grill Spring Break Celebration. The rest of the week’s activities include

  • Thursday: Build Your Own Piñata, 5-8 p.m.
  • Friday: Friday Night Fiesta with food and drink specials, DJ and caricaturist, 4-9 p.m.
  • Saturday: National Crunchy Taco Day with free taco giveaway, 2-5 p.m.

I’m looking forward to going back to try those sopapillas, in addition to the nachos and quesadillas.

We almost melted into puddles today. Literally. Ev We almost melted into puddles today. Literally. Everything was soggy, heavy, and sticky. The air was thick to breathe. It was just miserable.

But did we get it done? You know it! We just keep pushing through!

Do you have set locations and workouts for each day of the week or do you wing it? Do you feel off if your schedule has to adjust?

Just checking in on my stats on my #GarminForerunn Just checking in on my stats on my #GarminForerunner.

Kind of a crazy morning: while I was out, I got the heads up that there was a major police presence in the neighborhood. Ugh. I was able to adjust my route to stay away, and the perps (teens breaking into cars) were apprehended.

Never a dull moment!

Anything like that ever happen while you are out for your run?

This morning, I had to run to beat the rain. We ha This morning, I had to run to beat the rain. We had some terrible storms some through and so of course, we had to adjust.

I was tired after a late night on my feet, slinging pizza and snacks for the 8th grade formal, but I got up and moving anyway. Hoping to get a little rest tomorrow, but we will see how it goes.

Anyway else in the end of school year chaos? Or any other kind of chaos? We have got this 💪🏻!

Clicking my heels for the weekend! Friends, it is Clicking my heels for the weekend!

Friends, it is so hot out there 🥵! Ugh!

We have the 8th grade dance tonight: the school year is winding down so we are doing all the things in the next few weeks. 🎉 

What’s on your weekend calendar?

Can we talk about this monster? Last week, he had Can we talk about this monster?

Last week, he had a bump on his foot. We thought it was a big bite and it didn’t seem to be bothering him. Well, it continued into this week and so we went into our vet.

Poor boo has an infected cyst (benign). He got it drained and cleaned, was so very brave for a shot off antibiotics, doodled in the office and came home with a topical med to help him heal. 

He’s is 100% unbothered and on the road to recovery. 😍

Rise and grind in the sunrise! Not a lot of sleep Rise and grind in the sunrise!

Not a lot of sleep last night. Today is full of meetings and errands and I had to get a move on.

Sweet Leonidas has a little infection. I’m collaborating with some amazing creatives today. And tonight, I get a preview of marching band! Can’t wait!

What are you up to today?

Streeeeetch! It’s the right thing to do. Even o Streeeeetch! It’s the right thing to do.

Even on the days when everything feels good, the smart thing to do is stretch those muscles, to keep them healthy and flexible. 

Do you notice a difference when you stretch and when you don’t?
