Jessica treated me to Plaza Maya for my birthday. I haven't been to many Tex-Mex restaurants in the area, and this one had a high ranking so we checked it out.

Chips & salsa


Enchiladas Plaza Maya - One potato enchilada, one crabmeat and shrimp enchilada and one shredded beef enchilada, covered with cheese sauce. Served with rice.

Fried ice cream. Fun fact: Jessica mentioned we could get dessert because I'm the birthday girl. The server heard this, and when he brought out the ice cream, he brought a whole crew clapping and ready to put a sombrero on my head. When I turned 17 shades of red, Jessica was like "no, no" and they dispersed.

Asian Grill is a restaurant in Ashton Place that I usually overlook, but I saw that I could order online and have them deliver - with no delivery charge! And, about 20 minutes after I placed my order, I received it. Crazy fast!
