Yesterday, we highlighted the best place to get breakfast with a South of the Border twist. While we claim Chico's proclaims to be "the best", it has a competitor in Mishawaka: Mazatlan. Mazatlan claims to have the best casual dining, best fajitas, best prices, best margaritas and best drink specials. Regarding the last two, I side with Mazatlan, home of the 99 cent margarita.
Yes, on Thursday nights, soak up some Sonoran sun in liquid form at this family-owned restaurant. There is both a non-smoking dining room and a bar where you can smoke and watch the game on TV. In both areas, the chips and salsa arrive rapidly and the service is friendly and personable. Many members of owner Alberto Leon's family work on staff here, and even on your first visit, it's not hard to imagine yourself becoming a regular whenever you want a sizzlin' fajita...or a cheap margarita.
