Birthdays come every year but they always seems to sneak up on you 
Summers are always so jammed pack with activities…so many birthdays have been spent away from home.
This year there were no big plans…it was a Tuesday birthday so even more difficult to plan much.
All I wanted was to spend time with the ones I love but I don’t need a birthday for that
However, I guess the birthday gave me a good reason to go out to the Rio for some margaritas 
The Rio Grande is a Mexican restaurant that is currently only in Colorado (6 locations)…they have some good food but people go there for the margaritas
There isn’t a three margarita limit for no reason! They call it “good things come in threes.”
Chicken Quesadilla
Some of my favorites are the smoked chicken tacos, grilled steak tacos, guacamole tostada, chicken quesadilla or a smothered burrito.
Tacos
The smoked chicken tacos are flavored with a chipolte lime sauce while the grilled steak tacos are topped with an ancho pepper sauce and corn salsa. The guacamole tostada is a very fresh and tasty choice.
Family, friends, fun, laughter, good food and fabulous margaritas…thanks to all who joined in on the birthday festivities!

Happy birthday!
Thank you!
I have an uncontrolable love for margaritas, chips, salsa, cheese, guac, etc combo! I am drooling over every picture
he he “uncontrolable.”
I love everything you said as well…I eat chips and salsa on a regular basis!
Thank you
Coincidentally, my best friend said to me today, “Cara, you’re turning 30 in a month, we should do something to celebrate.” In my head, I was thinking, “Birthdays are awful; especially when they show signs of being tremendously wonderful.” The pictures above, however, depict an evening I wouldn’t mind partaking in. Those quesadillas are making drool quite frankly, and it’s not often I hanker for a margarita, but that one looks delicious.
“All I wanted was to spend time with the ones I love but I don’t need a birthday for that.” Perfectly said.
Happy Birthday to you!

Cara,
Thank you so much for stopping by my blog and commenting. I like how you said “…show signs of being tremendously wonderful.”
Birthdays really are just another excuse to hangout with the ones you love and have a good time!

Thank you. Honestly, I hope and pray it looks a lot like yours did. Mexican food and some good company!
Have a wonderful weekend!
You have a wonderful weekend as well!!
Yum. Visiting daughter this weekend and think we’ll NEED to go there. I’m sure she’s familiar with the place
Oh awesome! Ya, let me know what you think if you go there. The Denver location has a great patio and outside bar they just opened…makes the waiting for a table not so bad
