The Magic of Melted Monterrey Cheese and Crispy Crab Puffs
There are numerous dining establishments nearby as well. Salsa’s Mexican Cuisine is a local favorite. The Queso Del Mar is not only a great looking dish, but the meal is 5-star. With melted Monterrey Jack cheese served flaming at the table, accompanied by fresh sautéed shrimp in a scrumptious special seasoning, this classic choice is frequently ordered for the presentation as well as the flavor. Another favorite is the Berry Salad, tossed with balsamic vinaigrette dressing and topped with feta cheese, honey, toasted pecans, dried cranberries, apples and strawberries. And the chicken fajita is served with a seasonal salad.
Local foodies also gather at Hunan Riverplace. The appetizer that has the town talking is the award-winning crispy crab puffs. The Korean style Bul-Go-Gi has tender beef with mixed carrots and yellow and green onions in a soy sauce garnished with broccoli and sesame seeds. With a variety of fried rice and noodles, there is always plenty of good food, and kids love this restaurant because there is a menu designed especially for them.
