Chevys Fresh Mex- Limited Time Quesadilla Madness Menu and Giveaway!

chevyscollageChevys Fresh Mex has recently introduced its Quesadilla Madness menu for a  limited-time-only.  There are must try options including super craveable quesadillas! Our family was recently invited to test out some of the new items on the menu. The new dishes are available through April 4 at Chevys’ New Jersey locations in Clifton and Linden. We visited the Clifton, NJ location.

We are long time fans of Chevys Fresh Mex and dine there a few times a year, so we could not wait to check out the new menu. We decided to order some different dishes and then share them so we had the chance to experience all of the new items. What item was my favorite? ALL!! If you have ever been to Chevys you already know that your dining experience begins with freshly made chips and salsa. What a delicious start.

chevys2The new limited time Quesadilla Madness Menu all are served with fresh guacamole and sour cream on the side. One menu choice was Street Style Corn. This dish is back by popular demand, and perfect as an appetizer or side. This dish features fresh corn seasoned with Chevys’ secret sauce and spices, grilled and then topped with Cotija cheese and cilantro. Everyone from youngest to oldest loved this dish! It was just perfect and I can definitely see why they brought it back for another round.chevys3The Spinach and Mushroom ‘Dilla is spilling out with spinach and mushrooms mixed with corn salsa, spicy habanero pesto cream sauce and Jack cheese. This is another great choice and full of deliciousness. My son’s favorite pick was the Buffalo Chicken ‘Dilla which was filled with chicken tossed in traditional Buffalo sauce mixed with bleu cheese crumbles and Jack cheese. So delicious! Definitely for someone looking for a little zing!

chevys4Some other great limited time choices are the San Antonio BBQ Carnitas ‘Dilla. These slow-roasted carnitas are tossed in Chevys’ Mexican BBQ sauce and mixed with cheddar cheese. No matter what new dish you choose you cannot go wrong. There is so much deliciousness you will be thinking about Chevys for days. In addition to the new limited time choices there are still the old favorites on the regular menu. Oh boy, I am ready to go back to Chevys already for some more yum! Did I mention the desserts are absolutely scrumptious?! We ended up sharing one and were not disappointed at all. Our family definitely wants to head back to Chevys were soon.chevys1

KONG Skull Island Experience Now Open At Madame Tussauds NYC!

by Leave a Comment

Kong Skull Island Experience Now Open At Madame Tussauds Times Square NYCKongMadMadame Tussauds in Times Square has unveiled their brand new exhibit based on Legendary Entertainment & Warner Bros’ new film Kong: Skull Island, which releases on March 10. The attraction features a hyper-realistic model of the film’s main character James Conrad, played by Tom Hiddleston. Madame Tussauds New York will launch the brand new space and unveil its first-ever wax figure of Tom Hiddleston as Captain James Conrad. Visitors will join Captain Conrad on an adventure deep into the tropics of Skull Island before coming face-to-face with the monstrous Kong himself.

 Fans will get to make their way through Skull Island, seeing replicas of a giant Mother Long-Legs spider on their way to encounter the largest animatronic in New York City. At a towering eighteen feet, participants will have the chance to come face-to-face with the beast himself — the legendary King Kong. Taking months to create, this is Kong in his most true form yet. Kong-head made from over 350 square feet of specialized faux hair.  Taking a team of thirty three artists, the full project took over seventy days to complete. The beast acts in a very lifelike manner, as his eyes look around the room. Seeing how his mouth moves, and how he lets out large growls periodically really makes you think twice about what it would be like to be on Skull Island! I know that is a place I would definitely visit if I had the chance and this experience let me feel as if I actually had that chance. Check out what we thought of the movie here.
 KongMad2Being a King Kong fan forever this exhibit was like a dream come true. It really gave me a chance to feel first hand what it would be like to come up face to face with KONG! Bravo, Madame Tussauds, you have done it again! This one is a real gem for any King Kong fan. We also had the chance to talk with a representative from Madame Tussauds about the partnership with Kong: Skull Island, and you can check out the interview HERE and also get a sneak peek at the exhibit!
