Don Gallo Mexican Grill

This past Friday, my good friend Katie (of Pearls & twirls) and I were invited to one of our favorite spots- Don Gallo Mexican Grill- to try out some of their new menu items.  Let me preface this by saying that I am from Texas, and I am very particular about my Mexican food so I feel super lucky to have authentic Mexican in the heart of Knoxville!  The atmosphere is great and the patio, which is strung with bistro lights, is a perfect spot for dinner and drinks with friends.  I am still craving the Especial Don Goyo!  It is Top sirloin steak, chicken strips, shrimp, chorizo, and fajita vegetables grilled to perfection and topped with melted cheese in a molcajete (stone bowl). Served with Mexican rice, refried beans and tortillas. Delicious!  Wash it down with one of their amazing cocktails (I reccomend the sangria margarita or the tincho).  The Tincho is New Age wine + lime, served over ice.  It is such a great summer drink because it is so light and refreshing!

I'm starved after sharing these pictures- I'm sure you are too!  Be sure to visit Don Gallo Mexican Grill and try out their new menu.  You won't be dissapointed! 

Enjoy!
