Have you ever been faced with the dilemma of she wants Mexican but I want Italian? Do you often miss out on your favorite enchilada dish because no one else ever wants Mexican? Tostado’s International Grill has your answer.
Tostados menu speaks many languages; Italian, Mexican, German and American. Unlike Chinese buffets that throw some Kraft Mac & Cheese in just to be “diverse” Tostados actually makes it all fresh and from scratch. In the effort to be “diverse” my companion chose a Mexican dish, enchiladas $8.99 and I chose Italian lasagna $11.99 Three enchiladas (beef, chicken and cheese) smothered in rich hot and spicy(emphasis on spicy) sauce, served with fresh slow cooked Pinto beans, guacamole, sour cream, and rice. It took 2 dinner plates to serve it in. Mucho delicioso!I stole rice and beans repeatedly while my lasagna cooled. As soon as I could handle the heat I realized this was primo Italian. Sausage and cheese layered between the pasta thoroughly soaked in an excellent homemade sauce. Excellent! I used my breadsticks to wipe my plate clean. I then ate my salad Italian style (after the entree) fresh lettuce, tomato, onion, cheeses and lots of bacon lightly tossed in balsamic vinegarette. Grande finish. I was wondering about the German selections as I waited for the bill. It’s all fresh, it’s all real and it’s all good. After dinner stick around for the “Killer Karaoke” and the cool cocktails.
