Today, the Graves Communications team trekked over to Cafe Hidalgo’s to check out their Restaurant week faire and were more than pleased to find a great selection of delectable lunch specials that really hit the spot. Owner Gary Graves and employees Kari, Leo, Gia, Lauren and Isaac had a great time enjoying their meals and taking a break from the daily grind.
Hidalgo’s had a spectacular menu for this special week, offering a choice of one of their five best dishes, plus a soda, for only $10 dollars! And tax was even included in the price! Patrons could choose from Grilled Steak Chimichurri, Pecan Salmon, Santa Fe Chicken Salad, Grilled Fish Tacos or Chicken Enchiladas, and it was definitely hard to decide which incredible item to order.
Gia commented, “My first time at Hidalgo’s was a great treat. I ordered the “fish tacos,” which were very delicious. Not only was my meal good but the meals that my fellow co-workers ordered looked and smelled just as delicious. I will definitely come back here!” Leo, who sampled the Pecan Salmon was equally as excited about the visit: “Hidalgo’s Restaurant Week menu was a delectable bargain. A full-size entrée at an upscale establishment for $10 — including tax — is simply unheard of. The pecan salmon was a delicious treat!”
All in all, the experience was a great one for all, and so far, Hidalgo’s has our vote for the Best of Restaurant Week. Outstanding service, excellent cuisine and a great atmosphere, what’s not to love? Then again there’s still one more lunch outing tomorrow for a lucky Fullerton Restaurant to change our minds!
