Listen up all you ladies who lunch. We totally get it that you'd just want a small salad, minding your girlish figures and all. But when you dump a shit-ton of ranch dressing on top it ceases to serve said figure sparing function. This is particularly true when you wash it down with a Jack in the Box-esque deep fried Tupy Taco.
If you're headed to a Mexican joint, we surmise it would be much more enjoyable to drop the delusions. Jump right in with a margarita and savor the salty rice, borracho beans, grilled meaty goodness and nice warm corn tortillas. While you're at it, leave the funky fried tacos to all the drunks hitting up Jack in the Box after midnight.

Lunch at Alejandro's
We spent a relaxing summer vacation day doing a little shopping in Rockwall and managed to work up quite an appetite. On the way home, we decided to stop in at Alejandro's Grill & Cantina.
The lunch special prices are amazingly affordable - not much more than a fast food meal. We decided to try an order of shredded beef tacos with flour tortillas and an order of pork tacos in corn tortillas. Given the price, we didn't expect much but both orders came with yummy refried beans, rice, a cilantro and onion blend, and an amazing spicy salsa. The juiciness of the tender, slow-cooked meats was the most wonderful lunchtime surprise we've experienced in quite some time. Both types of tortillas were tender and flavorful but they also held up to the oozing goodness of juices and salsa.
After experiencing good margaritas and great taco lunches, we pondered how surprised we were that only a few other customers were dining in the restaurant. Lunches this good, at prices this affordable, should be attracting a killer lunch crowd. Our only explanation is location. It's a little out of the way for us and we are usually only in the vicinity on our way to do some occasional shopping in Rockwall. After this visit though, we're definitely willing to go a little out of the way to check out Alejandro's dinner menu.
