Sombra Mexican Kitchen, the upscale Mexican newbie in Ridgeland’s The Township, makes some serious margaritas… From their simple House Margarita, to their ritzier ones (we love The Township Margarita), to their Sangria Margaritas (in this case, two rights definitely do not make a wrong!), we have yet to find one that lets us down.

When we find a menu item that is so good, and so exciting, and so worth writing about, and so sleep depriving (because we are so excited about it), we like to write about those items in a column called The DISH. This edition of The DISH is such a good one. We found it [...]
Valentine’s Day is fast approaching! One of the most classic ways to impress your valentine is to shower him or her with food and sweets.
