Dining

Critic

Residents

who want a quick trip south of the border should not

worry about contacting their travel agents for weekend

rates to Cancun.

Instead,

get in your car and make the short trip to Don Pablo's

Mexican Kitchen at 100 Market Place Boulevard in

Peachtree City.

The

restaurant opened late last month and receives this

month's Citizen's Choice Award for dining.

As you walk

into the restaurant, you're immediately struck by the

open space and the amount of light pouring into the

restaurant. The design of the space is meant to give

customers the feeling of a Mexican village plaza and you

can practically hear the mariachi music as you're

escorted to your seat.

The

restaurant features recipes that originated from Mexican

ranch cooks in the 1940s. During opening week, everything

we tried was exceptional.

One of the

more notable items on the menu was the fajitas nachos. We

sampled the steak fajita nachos, which were truly

exceptional.

The steak

was cooked to perfection and complimented the usual

nachos trappings of sour cream and cheese.

Food lovers

who tend to stay away from Mexican restaurants because

they do not like spicy food will be quite happy with Don

Pablo's.

The

restaurant focuses on subtle flavors, instead of coating

everything with a red or green chili sauce.

Other items

on the menu include a tortilla soup, grilled chicken and

a variety of desserts, including ice cream nachos with

brandy-butter sauce and honey-roasted pecans.

For good

food at a great price, take a small Mexican vacation to

Don Pablo's.
