By the time I got a chance to have huevos rancheros at Tequila's in Old Saybrook, they were no longer doing breakfast at the restaurant. But, sad as I was, it was 1:30 in the afternoon and I was ravenous. The menu looked very, very good, and I ordered Lola's fajitas.

I munched on tortilla chips and read on my Kindle. Less than 10 minutes later my pleasant waitress brought to the table a sizzling platter full of vegetables and meat along with a basket of fresh corn tortillas. It was a big portion. I decided to eat only the entrée and give up the carbs, and I was glad I did. The vegetables were perfectly sautéed, the chicken tender, the three shrimp cooked just right, and the steak nice and chewy. I finished every bite and can't wait to come back and try more food at Tequila's.
