At this time of the year and looking forward to the beginning of another summer season at the Delaware Beaches, our roads are very crowded. Needless to say the meters are in effect too?. It is what it is, right?
I am actually looking for places that are easy to find and that parking will not be an issue.
My friend Debbie and I hit the road towards Milton. It takes no time to get there. Milton has a river running through it. It still has somewhat affordable housing, cute Main Street, and shops and restaurants are establishing themselves there.
It was a pretty early evening and we arrived at Tequila Real located at 122 Mulberry St. It opened a few years ago and it is very popular. Monday was crowded. That says something. Outdoors we did sit.
Tequila Real has an extensive menu. All prices are very reasonable and you get generous portions, as well.
I believe they see themselves as Tex-Mex. what does this mean? This type of cooking comes the Tejano people of Texas. A mix you would say.
First things first…A skinny Margarita. Why would you have it any other way? As a driver I had a very exciting club soda. I did taste the Margarita and it was refreshing. I am not a connoisseur but Debbie loved it!
Our server brought us chips and salsa and dipping sauce. The chips were warm. A little guac too.
I ordered the Taco Bowl with all the trimmings. Have you ever gone to a restaurant with a friend and wished you had ordered what she ordered? That was me. I wanted her dish. Mine was okay. With all the food Tequila Real has to offer I should have picked something else.
Now this was Debbie’s dish. Cilantro Lime Chicken Salad. This marinated chicken was so well seasoned and perfectly cooked. Topped over lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, pico de gallo, bell peppers, fresh spinach, black beans and a side of ranch dressing. This was the salad but you can also get this salad as an entree. A winner.
We did not have dessert but we did see some beautiful ones coming out. Bathing suit season is around the corner; you know how that is.
What was not to like? A beautiful evening, good food with a good friend.
Hasta luego. Did I tell you that you can practice your Spanish?

Tantos anos este restaurante ha estado en nuestra playa y que extrano que nunca lo habia visitado anteriormente. En una semana he ido 3 veces.
Oh, excuse me. I got caught into my Spanish. I was just thinking that this restaurant has been in our beach for so long and I had never paid them a visit. I don’t even know why. This past week I have gone 3 times. I actually found a waiter that I knew, Alex, who is working at Dos Locos and he took care of my family with his usual friendly disposition.
Dos Locos is located at 208 Rehoboth Ave., Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971. Tel. is 302-227-3353. Websited? www.doslocos.com.
First of all, I have to congratulate them for having a Gluten Free Menu. So exciting it is to find so many restaurants in our coastal area having this menu for the customers that have a gluten allergy.
The first night I went I only got a couple of pictures because I forgot to charge the battery. In the back of my mind I knew that I would be coming back to try one of the stonegrill meals.
Remember my old partner in crime, Debbie? Well, she was there with me again. Catching up after not seeing each other for quite some time. And, she asked me; what do you want me to order? It really did not matter as long as one of us had the stonegrill meal.
We took our time in ordering because we were bla, bla, bla, and more bla. Taking a look at the restaurant I want to let you know that it was very comfortable, casual and relaxing. A nice side bar area on one side; on the other, side booths and single tables were available. The restaurant also had another room in the back. It was crowded. It is a restaurant that welcomes everyone.
Our waiter brought us some tortilla chips and salsa. The chips were warm and a little salty; perfect. The sauce? I would have put more cilantro and a bit of lime juice.
Debbie decided to have the beef fajitas; hold the beans, please. Guacamole? Of course. I had that dish the other night and mine was good. Debbie really enjoyed hers today, as well.
Stonegrilling is done on individual stones that are over 700 degrees. What’s good about it? It sears the food at high temperatures, therefore, all natural juices are contained. It is healthy because there are no oils; the meats; so tender.
I chose a combination of Angus beef filet and shrimp. You can choose rub and sauces, but to tell you the truth I forgot about it and was not sure how it was going to taste.
When the stone was brought in, it was so hot; no wonder they say the stonegrilling is not for children. It looked beautiful.
Then, I followed the directions and turned over the food so it would cook on the other side. I cut and enjoyed a great lunch. I asked for a side salad. You had the choice of salad or rice. The taste of the beef was juicy and I must admit that I did not miss any rub or other seasoning. The shrimp were large and cooking them over the stone was perfect.
Dos Locos has a retail shop right next door. It is a Gallery. In it they have t-shirts, pick up souvenirs, plaques, hot sauces, and salsas.
They also carry the line of candy wrapper handbags. Popular and very interesting. Check that website www.nahuiollin.com.
It was already about 4:30 p.m. Long lunch even though it did not seem so. In the past I have said that sharing a meal with a friend is always….priceless.
Note: Dos Locos opens daily at 11:30 a.m. Check the website www.doslocos.com because they have so many specials and even Karaoke at 9:00 p.m. on Monday and Saturday evenings.
